Barriers to gene flow between emerging populations of Watermelon mosaic virus in Southeastern France.

چکیده
Since 1999, "emerging" (EM) strains of Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV) have been detected in cucurbit crops of southeastern France, probably as a result of recent introductions. Population genetic approaches were used to study the structure of EM isolates in southeastern France and to identify factors involved in their spatial distribution. A population clustering method (SAMOVA) and a maximum-difference algorithm (Monmonier's algorithm) were combined to visualize and quantify barriers to gene flow between populations. Both methods yielded similar results and two main barriers were identified. A North/South oriented barrier may be related to physical obstacles to gene flow (Rhône River, presence of an area with few cucurbit crops). Although the barrier was very strong, some "crossing" events were detected. A second barrier, oriented Northwest to Southeast, was not correlated with obvious geographical features. The two methods used here are complementary and confirm the limited spread of WMV-EM isolates. This approach can be useful in epidemiology studies to characterize the structure of viral populations and identify barriers to gene flow.

متن کاملInheritance 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...

In North Carolina, approximately 8% of the cucumber (Cucumis sativus) yield is lost to root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) (Main and Gurtz, 1989). No resistance was found in cucumber after screening of 900 cultigens for resistance to Meloidogyne incognita race 3 (Walters, 1991). African horned cucumber (Cucumis metuliferus) has resistance to M. incognita (Fassuliotis, 1967; Walters, 1991), a...
