Characterization and Inheritance of Resistance to PRSV-W (Papaya Ringspot Virus-Watermelon Strain) in Squash (Cucurbita pepo L.)

The watermelon strain of papaya ringspot virus-watermelon strain (PRSV-W) is one of potyviruses causing severe damage to the production of cucurbit crops including squash. To develop an evaluation technique, and find genetic resources for PRSV-W resistance in squash, one hundred and forty eight accessions were manually inoculated with PRSV-W. Levels of resistance to PRSV-W accumulation in squash leaf tissue were evaluated using a combination of visual symptom observation, ELISA and RT-PCR analysis. Inheritance of resistance to PRSV-W in inbred line BV21 was also analyzed with six generations (parents, generations F₁, F₂ and F₁BC₁ for both parents). The results showed that the best approach for evaluating resistance to PRSV-W in squash plants was to inoculate the cotyledons of 2-week-old seedlings with virus, and then to rate the symptom expression of first to third leaves after 15 to 25 days. Plants were classified for PRSV symptom severity on a scale from 0 (no symptoms) to 4 (severe symptoms). Among the 148 accessions screened, 22 showed high tolerant, 11 exhibited moderately tolerant, total disease-resistant germplasm materials accounted of 22.3%; 12 exhibited susceptibility, 103 germplasm materials were highly susceptible the total susceptible germplasm materials accounted for 77.7%. RT-PCR was more precise and sensitive than ELISA in virus detection. The genetic analysis results revealed that a single dominant gene conferred resistance to PRSV-W in BV21 and its generation. These results will facilitate development of resistant varieties to control this disease.
