Generation of transgenic watermelon resistance to Cucumber mosaic virus facilitated by an effective Agrobacterium-mediated transformation method

Study of resistance to cucumber mosaic virus watermelon mosaic virus and zucchini yellow mosaic virus in melon cultivars

An appropriate method to determine the interaction type of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV)

The occurrence of viral co-infection is a common phenomenon in cultivated and native plant species and can alter the dynamics of virus infection. In this study, disease progress was examined in single and mixed infections of Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) and Bean yellow mosaic virus (BYMV) by measuring the rate of symptom development, disease severity and area under disease progress curve on infe...

Inheritance of resistance to zucchini yellow mosaic virus and watermelon mosaic virus in watermelon.

High resistance to zucchini yellow mosaic virus-China strain (ZYMV-CH) and moderate resistance to watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) were found in a selection of PI 595203 (Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus), an Egusi type originally collected in Nigeria. Mixed inoculations showed primarily that these two viruses have no cross-protection. This fact may explain the high frequency of mixed infection ofte...

Transformation of Lilium Longiflorum Plants for Cucumber Mosaic Virus Resistance by Particle Bombardment

Lilium species (Liliaceae) are a significant floriculture commodity and one of the three major bulb crops in the commercial market. Lilies are monocotyledonous plants that have been generally recalcitrant to molecular genetic manipulation because of limitations that restrict utilization of transformation technologies that are routinely applied to dicotyledonous plants. Cucumber mosaic virus (CM...

Agrobacterium-Mediated Transformation in Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Introduction. Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is an important horticultural crop. Its fruits are used for slicing and pickling and juice extraction worldwide. In India, both the fruits and seeds have long been used in the manufacture of traditional medicines that act as skin conditioners, diuretics and body coolants. Thus, cucumber is a potential candidate for an edible vaccine (6). In India, stu...
