Abstract
Summary: Most commercial cultivars of Cucurbita pepo L. reacted by producing severe leaf symptoms when infected with either of two British strains of cucumber mosaic virus. Resistance was identified in some pumpkin-types of C. pepo, with the highest level in cv. Cinderella. Studies with selfed populations produced from selected resistant plants demonstrated that resistance in cv. Cinderella is heritable.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
