NOVEL QTLS CONFERRING RESISTANCE TO CUCURBIT APHID-BORNE YELLOW VIRUS

Fuente: WIPO "tomato"
Cucumber plants exhibiting resistance to cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV) are provided, together with methods of producing, identifying, or selecting plants or germplasm with a cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus resistance phenotype. Such methods include producing a cucumber plant exhibiting resistance to CABYV, comprising introgressing genomic regions conferring disease resistance; or selecting a cucumber plant exhibiting resistance to CABYV. Compositions, including polymorphic markers for detecting plants comprising introgressed disease resistance alleles, are further provided.
