DETERMINATION OF THE CHLOROPHYLL LEVEL IN THE LEAVES OF THE PHASEOLUS VULGARIS L PLANT INFECTED WITH THE COMMON BEAN MOSAIC VIRUS

Abstract

In recent years, data have shown that only one bean plant can be infected with more than 10 viruses worldwide, each of which differs from each other in a number of characteristics, such as structure, morphology, and the symptoms it causes in the plant. One of these viruses is BCMV beans, which differs from each other in the pathogenicity of these viruses: a number of strains have been identified that are widespread around the world and cause significant damage to agriculture.
There is a sharp decrease in the amount of chlorophyll content in the leaves of legume plants infected with the bean mosaic virus. In this case, the virus is exposed to another foreign substance with the free radical chlorophyll.
