Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation Cucurbita responses to ToLCNDV varied within and among species.
- Observation C. pepo accessions had severe symptoms and high viral amounts 30 days after inoculation.
- Observation Cucurbita fraterna had severe symptoms and high viral amounts after inoculation.
- Observation C. maxima was highly susceptible to ToLCNDV.
- Observation C. maxima showed leaf decay and intense yellowing.
- Observation C. pepo showed mosaic, curling and internode shortening.
- Observation C. moschata was the only species showing resistance.
- Observation Four C. moschata accessions were symptomless or mildly symptomatic after three mechanical inoculations.
- Observation Two resistant accessions remained symptomless after viruliferous whitefly inoculation.
- Observation ToLCNDV was detected in asymptomatic C. moschata at 15 and 30 days after inoculation.
- Observation Susceptible C. moschata developed leaf mottling that progressed to severe mosaic.
- Recommendation The authors recommend resistant C. moschata accessions for breeding.
