Screening for Resistance to Zucchini yellow mosaic virus in the Watermelon Germplasm

HORTSCIENCE, 54(2), 206–211.

By: N. Guner n, Z. Pesic-VanEsbroeck n, L. Rivera-Burgos  n & T. Wehner n 

author keywords: Citrullus; germplasm; plant introduction; strain
TL;DR: USDA watermelon germplasm collection was screened for ZYMV resistance and the disease rating for the most resistant and most susceptible accessions was verified, with PI 595203 having the highest resistance according to both the germ Plasm screening and the retest studies.

2009 journal article

Non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in the watermelon eIF4E gene are closely associated with resistance to Zucchini yellow mosaic virus

THEORETICAL AND APPLIED GENETICS, 120(1), 191–200.

By: K. Ling*, K. Harris*, J. Meyer*, A. Levi *, N. Guner n, T. Wehner n , A. Bendahmane *, M. Havey *

MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Base Sequence; Chromosome Mapping; Chromosomes, Plant; Citrullus / genetics; Citrullus / virology; Crops, Agricultural / genetics; Crops, Agricultural / virology; Crosses, Genetic; Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-4E / chemistry; Eukaryotic Initiation Factor-4E / genetics; Genetic Linkage; Genetic Markers; Immunity, Innate / genetics; Models, Molecular; Molecular Sequence Data; Plant Diseases / virology; Plant Proteins / chemistry; Plant Proteins / genetics; Polymorphism, Single Nucleotide; Potyvirus / pathogenicity; Protein Isoforms / genetics; Protein Structure, Tertiary
TL;DR: The entire genomic sequence of watermelon eIF4E, including SNP241 which resulted in an amino acid substitution (proline to threonine) was shown to be located in the critical cap recognition and binding area, similar to that of several plant species resistance to potyviruses.

Growth stage, flowering pattern, yield, and harvest date prediction of four types of cucumber tested at 10 planting dates

ADVANCES IN VEGETABLE BREEDING, pp. 223–229.

By: T. Wehner*  & N. Guner*

author keywords: Cucumis sativus; vegetable breeding; crop model; sex expression; plant type
TL;DR: This study studied growth and development of cucumber using both days after planting and cumulative heat units (HU) to determine their value in prediction of harvest date for pickling cucumbers grown in North Carolina, and to study vegetative and flowering patterns from planting to harvest.

Survey of US land-grant universities for training of plant breeding students

Crop Science, 43(6), 1938–1944.

By: N. Guner n & T. Wehner n 

TL;DR: If the USA is going to continue its public effort in plant breeding research and graduate student training, sufficient federal and state funding will have to be provided to support at least the current regional centers. (via Semantic Scholar)

Methods for screening watermelon for resistance to papaya ringspot virus type-W

SCIENTIA HORTICULTURAE, 94(3-4), 297–307.

By: N. Guner n, E. Strange n, T. Wehner n  & Z. Pesic-VanEsbroeck n

author keywords: Cucurbitaceae; Citrullus lanatus; mosaic; disease; pathology; vegetable breeding
TL;DR: It is found the best method for a screening of the watermelon germplasm collection for resistance to PRSV-W is to grow the seedlings in square, 100 mm diameter pots and inoculate plants at the first true leaf stage using PRSv-W isolate 2052 and the rub method. (via Semantic Scholar)

Screening the watermelon germplasm collection for resistance to papaya ringspot virus type-W

CROP SCIENCE, 42(4), 1324–1330.

By: E. Strange n, N. Guner n, Z. Pesic-VanEsbroeck n & T. Wehner n 

TL;DR: The objectives of this study were to screen the USDA watermelon germplasm collection for PRSV-W resistance, to verify the disease rating for the most resistant and most susceptible accessions, and to determine the number of escapes on the basis of the retest of the Germplasm screening test.
