Groundnut Bud Necrosis Virus (GBNV) (family Bunyaviridae, genus Tospovirus) is an emerging plant viral disease. The GBNV was a very broad host range infecting many economically important crops throughout in India. So, the aim of this study is identification of GBNV infecting chilli to know the genetic diversity. The plants showing chlorotic and nectrotic rings and apical bud necrosis in young leaves of chilli plants were collected from different locations in Andhra Pradesh. Total RNA was isolated from the positive ELISA samples and amplified with GBNV coat protein gene specific primers. GBNV chilli isolates shares a tripartite ssRNA genome structure and organization with other GBNV isolates, and more generally, other tospoviruses. The genome consists of L RNA (8911 nt), M RNA (4816nt) and S RNA (3059nt) segments.
