A Watermelon mosaic virus clone tagged with the yellow visual maker phytoene synthase facilitates scoring infectivity in melon breeding programs
2019-04-01
Abstract excerpt
Watermelon mosaic virus (WMV), a plus-strand RNA virus that belongs to the family Potyviridae, is one of the most damaging viruses that infect cucurbit crops. However, isolates of this species frequently induce mild symptoms, which makes difficult to manage the disease in the field and breeding programs. A new generation of marker genes has been recently developed to visually track plant virus infection. Virus-med...
