Abstract
The inheritance of resistance toFusarium oxysporum f.sp.cucumerinum race 1 was determined in the cucumber cv. WIS-248 by analyzing segregation of F1, F2, and BC populations of crosses with the susceptible cv. Straight-8. Resistance was conferred by a single dominant gene. In an allelism test, it was proven that theFcu-1 gene, which confers resistance toF. oxysporum f.sp.cucumerinum races 1 and 2 in cucumber cv. SMR-18 and theFoc gene, which confers resistance toF. oxysporum f.sp.cucumerinum race 2 in cucumber cv. WIS-248, are indistinguishable.
