ABSTRACT: Screening for the source
of virus resistance in horticultural plants or specific characterization as
hybridization, through symptoms, requires time and depends on the weather and knowledge of plant characteristics. So, it is
important to develop specific gene markers to allow rapid diagnosis by PCR.
Markers were developed based on sequences homology comparison of susceptible
and resistant plants provided by HORTEC SEEDS in tomato for Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) by the resistance gene Ty-1, in
zucchini for Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) and Papaya ringspot virus estirpe
watermelon (PRSV-W), and in lettuce for Lettuce mosaic virus (LMV).
Fragments of 249 bp were amplified only by
resistant plants to TYLCV as the hybrids 2648 and Aguamiel, and not for
varieties as Santa Cruz or Carina. It were observed for ZYMV the amplification
of 791 bp by the resistant hybrid Px7051 and not for the susceptible cultivar
La Belle; for PRSV-W using the same zucchini plants the amplification of 650 bp
for susceptible and 750 bp for resistant; for LMV the 421 bp amplification only
for the resistant cultivar Brasil 303 and not for susceptible Babá de Verão.
Finally, it was observed that primers PK47F/R were able to check the Cabotiá
seed hybrids of pumpkin Jabras.
