Soybean (Glycine max L.) is one of the most important crops in the world and serves as a principal dietary food and oil source. It is the major cash crop of central zone of India. Due to the occurrence of no-podding syndrome (NPS) or floral bud distortion (FBD), more than 80% yield losses was occurred. Average FBD incidence ranged from 8.0 to 14.6% in different parts of the states. The symptomatic plants produced distorted flowers and either no or deformed pods and remained green after maturity. Also infected plants showed thicker stem and shorter internodes as compared to the asymptomatic plants. The viruses associated with FBD were detected and diagnosed applying the serological method such as Direct Antigen Coating- Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (DAC-ELISA). Soybean samples with FBD analyzed serologically by DAC-ELISA showed positive reaction and confirmed the presence of Tobacco streak virus (TSV) and Groundnut bud necrosis virus (GBNV).
