New source of resistance to mosaic virus transmission by Aphis gossypii in melon

Abstract

The melon accession ‘TGR-1551’ shows a clear and total resistance to the transmission of several isolates of CMV and ZYMV when A. gossypii was used as the vector. The genetic analysis of the progenies obtained crossing this accession with the susceptible Spanish cultivar ‘Bolade Oro’ showed that the resistance to mosaic virus transmission is conferred by the presence of a dominant gene. There are also evidences that this dominant gene is different from ‘Vat’ gene.
