Furthermore, evaluation studies of these materials have started. In the present study 67 melon accessions, sampled from this germplasm, were tested for resistance to </span><span style="color: #221e1f;"><span class="A4"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ’Times New Roman’,’serif’; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: ’Garamond Premier Pro’;">zucchini yellow mosaic virus (</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #221e1f; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: ’Garamond Premier Pro’;">ZYMV), </span><span class="A4"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ’Times New Roman’,’serif’; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: ’Garamond Premier Pro’; mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">Cucumber </span></span><span class="A4"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ’Times New Roman’,’serif’; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: ’Garamond Premier Pro’;">mosaic virus (</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #221e1f; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: ’Garamond Premier Pro’;">CMV) and </span><span class="A4"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: ’Times New Roman’,’serif’; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: ’Garamond Premier Pro’;">watermelon mosaic virus (</span></span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #221e1f; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: ’Garamond Premier Pro’;">WMV). After resistance tests made by mechanical inoculation, four accessions (‘CU 100’, ‘CU 287’, ‘CU 305’ and ‘CU 328’) were found resistant to ZYMV and three accessions (‘CU 305’, ‘C 264’, and ‘C 276’) to WMV. No resistant genotype was found to CMV.</span></span></p> <p> </p>}, number={1}, journal={Notulae Scientia Biologicae}, author={EKBIC, Ercan and FIDAN, Hakan and YILDIZ, Mehtap and ABAK, Kazim}, year={2010}, month={Mar.}, pages={55–57} }
