 The study found that 153 out of 204 tested breeding lines have a dominant gene for resistance against BCMV and BCMNV, while 4 and 5 lines have recessive genes BC1 superscript 2 and BC2 superscript 2. The results suggest that these resistant lines can be registered for use in breeding studies and their seeds should be maintained at the National Gene Bank.
