AB  - <p>Begomovirus-caused chilli leaf curl virus disease has become a threat to chilli production across globe, resulting in significant output reduction and financial loss. Begomoviruses are a new class of plant viruses that are mostly spread by <em>Bemisia tabaci</em> complex whiteflies that in extreme situations, causes twisting of interveinal areas, altering the phyto-morphology or cause 100% yield loss due to leaf curl syndrome either by itself or in conjunction with thrips and mites. Its management through pesticides become futile as it quick develop resistance that demands integrated measures for its control effectively including utilisation of resistant genetic resources. Multiple reports exist on resistant variants in germplasm pools that reflect monogenic dominant, monogenic recessive, or two recessive loci interacting in duplicate dominance epistatic mode depending on genetic background. CRISPR/Cas-mediated virus resistance has several benefits over traditional methods, and has become more important in managing diseases caused by DNA and RNA viruses.</p>
