Patent ID: 8766041

Claim:
Method for providing a tobamovirus resistant cucumber plant ( Cucumis sativus L.) comprising: (a) identifying a tobamovirus resistance genetic locus in a first cucumber plant ( Cucumis sativus L.); (b) transferring the identified tobamovirus resistance genetic locus into a second cucumber plant ( Cucumis sativus L.) thereby conferring tobamovirus resistance to said second cucumber plant; wherein said identifying a tobamovirus resistance genetic locus comprises using a molecular marker for identifying a tobamovirus resistance genetic locus in the genome of said first cucumber plant, said genetic locus is identified by a nucleic acid amplification fragment of 245-247 bp using molecular amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) primers SEQ ID NO: 1 and SEQ ID NO: 2 in an AFLP assay, and wherein said tobamovirus resistance comprises cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) resistance and cucumber fruit mottle mosaic virus (CFMMV) resistance.
