Currently, there are no resistant melon cultivars. Work by CucCAP researchers from Clemson University and USDA-Charleston identified two major and seven minor QTL using a cross between the resistant melon breeding line MR-1 and susceptible cultivar Ananas Yoqne&#8217;am. Work is underway to develop KASP markers to facilitate breeding for these QTL and test their association with resistance to <em>Pseudoperonospora cubensis<\/em> isolates.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For further reading:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00122-021-03843-w\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>QTL mapping of resistance to <em>Pseudoperonospora cubensis<\/em> clade 1, mating type A2, in <em>Cucumis melo<\/em><\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nSean M.
