10th EUCARPIA Meeting on Genetics and Breeding of Cucurbitaceae, Antalya, Türkiye, 15 - 18 Ekim 2012, ss.633-637
This study was carried out between 2008-2010 years, in Alata Horticultural Research Station. The hybrid summer squash variety Otto F-1 was used as donor for resistance source of ZYMV. The resistance of the variety was introduced by backcross method to our pure lines Alata6 and Alata50 to develop suitable material for the breeders. For this purpose we realized the hybridizations and at the end we obtained BC4 populations. Before establishment of each backcross populations we realized a selection for resistance by mechanical inoculation then plants were screened according to symptom cale classes.
