Linkage analysis of Zym-2 resistance gene with microsatellite markers and reaction of melon accessions to Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) Viruses cause significant losses in the melon crop. Among these, Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) is of great importance and is ubiquitous in cucurbit crops. The control of this virus through genetic resistance is the most efficient management strategy. PI414723 is the only source of resistance to ZYMV in melon. This resistance is oligogenic and is supposed to be conditioned by three dominant genes: Zym-1, Zym-2 and Zym-3. While the chromosomal location of Zym1 gene has been determined to be close to the CMAG36 marker in linkage group 2, the location of Zym-2 still lacks experimental confirmation, although there is some preliminary evidence that it is located in the linkage group 10 (LGX). Thus, one objective of this study was to confirm the chromosomal location of Zym-2 through linkage analysis with microsatellite markers (SSRs). To this, F2 plants population derived from the cross PI414723 x 'Védrantais' were used as a segregating population. The plants were mechanically inoculated twice with isolate RN6-F, pathotype 0, at an interval of 24h. Confirmation of the infection and the quantification of viral titers in F2 plants were conducted using the PTA-ELISA technique. Plant genomic DNA was extracted from the first true leaf and used in PCR reactions using specific primers for selected SSRs belonging to LGX. An asymmetric distribution of absorbance classes was observed as well as a higher frequency of F2 individuals in the classes with lower values (0.1 to 0.2), confirming the presence of the major gene Zym-1. The chi-square test showed that all markers segregated according to the expected frequency (1: 2: 1), except for the CMCT134b marker. Linkage analysis among markers showed that the orders and distances between markers were consistent with published linkage maps. Linkage of Zym-2 to the markers was investigated by simple linear regression. Of the analyzed markers, the linear regression was significant for MU6549 and CMBR55, with p-values of 0.011 and 0.0054, respectively. Thus, the location of Zym-2 was determined in LGX. A second objective of the study was to evaluate the reaction to ZYMV of 42 melon accessions from the Northeastern Brazil, in order to discover new sources of resistance. For this, two experiments were conducted using the same inoculation and evaluation procedures previously described. The mean viral titer between accessions ranged from 0.123 to 0.621 in experiment 1 and between 0.019 to 0.368 in the experiment 2. Some accessions consistently showed low viral titers, similar to the resistant access PI414723 and the negative controls (non-inoculated plants of the cultivar 'Védrantais'). Therefore, these accessions are potential sources of resistance to be employed in breeding programs.
