Genomic-Assisted Marker Development Suitable for CsCvy-1 Selection in Cucumber Breeding.

ABSTRACT: Cucumber is a widely grown vegetable crop plant and a host to many different plant pathogens. Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) causes economic losses on cucumber crops in Mediterranean countries and in some part of India such as West Bengal and in African countries such as Sudan. CVYV is an RNA potyvirus transmitted mechanically and by whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) in a semipersistent manner. Control of this virus is heavily dependent on the management of the insect vector and breeding virus-resistant lines. DNA markers have been used widely in conventional plant breeding programs via marker-assisted selection (MAS). However, very few resistance sources against CVYV in cucumber exist, and also the lack of tightly linked molecular markers to these sources restricts the
