Abstract excerpt
Powdery mildew caused by Podosphaera xanthii is a major disease in melon crops, and races 1, 2, and 5 of this fungus are those that occur most frequently in southern Europe. The genotype TGR-1551 bears a dominant gene that provides resistance to these three races of P. xanthii. By combining bulked segregant analysis and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP), we identified eight markers linked to this...
