We compared some fitness components of the wild squash species Cucurbita pepo spp. ovifera var. texana (C. texana) and three generations of hybrids (F1, BC1, and BC2) between C. texana and commercial transgenic squash CZW-3 over three consecutive years under field conditions of low (LDP) and high disease pressure (HDP) by Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) and Wate...

Cucurbita moschata, a cucurbit species responsive to inductive short-day (SD) photoperiods, and Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) were used to test whether long-distance movement of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) mRNA or FT is required for floral induction. Ectopic expression of FT by ZYMV was highly effective in mediating floral induction of long-day (LD)-treated plants. Moreover, the infection zone...

Mosaic disease has become epidemic in the zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) plantations on island of Bali, but cause is not yet known with certainty, although there are allegations common causes including Cucumber mosaic virus (CMV), Papaya ringspot (PRSV), Squash (SqMV), Watermelon (WMV), and Zucchini yellow (ZYMV). This study aims to ascertain which was carried out by observation symptoms, proving...

Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) causes serious damage to cucurbit crops worldwide and can be spread by aphids, mechanical injury, in seeds. With the popularization of grafting, use susceptible rootstock has increased risk ZYMV infection crops. In China, bottle gourd ( Lagenaria siceraria ) is a widely used grafted watermelon production. However, few resistant gourds are available commercial...

zucchini yellow mosaic virus (zymv) causes high yield losses to cucurbits in many parts of the world. during a survey in summer and fall of 2008 and 2009, 392 collected from different fields in khorasan razavi, northern khorasan and southern khorasan provinces were tested based on das-elisa tests using zymv specific polyclonal antibody. the result showed that 72 out of 392 samples were infected...
