Abstract

The inheritance of resistance of three melon lines to Sphaerotheca fuliginea race 1 has been studied. ‘Negro’ possesses one dominant gene for resistance. Resistance in ‘Amarillo’ is mainly controlled by one gene, and resistance in ‘Moscatel Grande’ seems to be controlled by two genes. These four genes are different from each other and allelism tests showed that the gene present in ‘Negro’ is different from those described before in PMR5, PI 124111 and PI 124112. The main gene present in ‘Amarillo’ is different from those carried by PMR5 and PI 124111 and the two genes carried by ‘Moscatel Grande’ are different from the one present in PMR5.
