Abstract A melon (Cucumis melo L.) breeding line derived from PI 414723 is resistant to three potyviruses,watermelon mosaic virus (WMV), zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV), papaya ringspot virus (PRSV), and to powdery mildew (PM). The inheritance and linkage relationships of these four resistances were studied in a segregating F2 population and derived F3 families from a cross between cultivar Top Mark and the resistant breeding line. Dominant monogenic inheritance of all four resistances was observed. We report that line 414723-4S3, which was initially selected as a source of ZYMV and WMV resistance, is also a source of dominant monogenic resistances to PRSV and PM race 1. We also report on genetic linkage (significant departure from independent segregation, χ2 = 58.1, p≪ 0.0001) between resistance to WMV and ZYMV. The map distance between these loci was estimated to be 7.5 cm. The genes for resistance to PM and PRSV segregated independently from each other, and from ZYMV and WMV resistance.
