The complete nucleotide sequence of Zucchini yellow mosaic virus isolate from Egypt (ZYMV-Egz_MT383108) was determined. comparisons suggested that the belongs to Group A. analysis Egyptian showed highest similarity (~96-97%) with isolates leaf1 (KJ923767.1) and PA_2006 (JQ716413.1) USA lowest (84%) an (AF014811.2) Singapore. phylogenetic revealed ZYMV-Egz occupied a distinct clade together in A...

The full-length cDNA of a Taiwan strain of Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV TW-TN3) was constructed from five overlapping cDNA clones downstream from the bacteriophage T7 promoter in plasmid pT7ZYMV25. The plasmid was able to generate an in vitro transcript corresponding to TW-TN3 (9591 nt) with one extra guanosine residue at the 5 ́ terminus and a poly(A)95 tract at the 3 ́ end. In addition, p...

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...

Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is an emerging viral pathogen in cucurbit-growing areas wordwide. Infection causes significant yield losses in several species of the family Cucurbitaceae. To identify proteins potentially involved with resistance toward infection by the severe ZYMV-H isolate, two Cucurbita pepo cultivars (Zelena susceptible and Jaguar partially resistant) were analyzed using...
