IDENTIFICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POTENTIAL NBS-ENCODING RESISTANCE GENES AND INDUCTION KINETICS OF A PUTATIVE CANDIDATE GENE ASSOCIATED WITH DOWNY MILDEW RESISTANCE IN CUCUMIS

Identification and characterization of potential NBS-encoding resistance genes and induction kinetics of a putative candidate gene associated with downy mildew resistance in Cucumis

Abstract Background Due to the variation and mutation of the races of Pseudoperonospora cubensis, downy mildew has in recent years become the most devastating leaf disease of cucumber worldwide.Novel resistance to downy mildew has been identified in the wild Cucumis species, C.hystrix Chakr.After the successful hybridization between C.hystrix and c
