Abstract
The invention provides a Tomato Leaf Curl New Dehli Virus (ToLCNDV) tolerance or resistant QTL in cucurbit plants and plants comprising the QTL. The invention also provides molecular markers linked to QTL. The invention further provides methods of breeding to produce plants that are resistant to ToLCNDV, and the resistant plants produced by such methods.
Claims16
A Cucurbita pepo (C. pepo) plant tolerant or resistant to Tomato Leaf Curl New Dehli Virus (ToLCNDV), wherein said plant comprises one QTL associated to tolerance or resistance to ToLCNDV on linkage group 11 (LG11).
A method of breeding a plant of the genus Cucurbita tolerant or resistant to Tomato Leaf Curl New Dehli Virus (ToLCNDV), wherein the method comprises crossing a first cucurbit plant of the genus Cucurbita with a second plant of the genus Cucurbita to produce progeny plants of a subsequent generation, and selecting one or more progeny plants that contain the tolerance or resistance to ToLCNDV from the progeny of the subsequent generation, wherein the first plant of the genus Cucurbita is tolerant or resistant to ToLCNDV.
