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

The melon accession ‘TGR-1551’ shows a clear and total resistance to the transmission of several isolates of CMV and ZYMV when A. gossypii is used as vector. The genetic analysis of the progenies obtained crossing this accession with the susceptible Spanish cultivar ‘Bola de 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.
