Welcome to Genomic Database of Viruses Infecting Legume Crops | |
Leguminous crops belongs to Fabaceae family that are rich sources of proteins for both human and animal health. These are also notable for their agronomic importance of nitrogen fixation through nodule formation by providing Rhizobium bacteria.Viruses are the major constraint to leguminous crops production. Remarkable loss has been found in the crops yield due to viral infection or viral attack. The diseases caused by viruses create a significant economic loss in agriculture as well as agro based industries. | |
This database aims to provide genomic information regarding viruses infecting the leguminous crops and other plants infected through these viruses. | |
