Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci And Developing First Molecular Marker For Race 5 Of Podosphera Xanthii Resistance In Melon (Cucumis Melo L.), Abdullah Ünlü, İlknur Polat, Aytül Yildirim, Ahmet Naci̇ Onus
Turkish Journal of Botany
Powdery mildew of melon caused by the Podosphaera xanthii factor is a disease that causes serious yield losses economically in all areas where melon is grown from Asia to Europe and America. The use of resistant varieties for the control of the disease is the most environmentally friendly method. However, traditional methods of melon breeding have made a noteworthy input to resistance varieties improvement, but they have been slow and incompetent in targeting complex powdery mildew disease resistance traits. To overcome these problems and to facilitate breeding programs, molecular markers closely linked to the Pm-R5 gene are needed for marker-assisted …
