Resistance sources against a new an old world begomoviruses associated with epidemic diseases in curcubit crops

The cucurbits include several important vegetables to human consumption which are threatened for epidemic diseases such as those caused by begomoviruses. The Old World begomovirus Tomato leet curl New Delhi virus (ToLCNDV) was first described in India and is currently spreading in some Mediterranean countries. Meanwhile, the New World begomovirus Melon chlorotic mosaic virus (MeCMV) has been only described in Venezuela. This work aims to evaluate melon lines in order to look for resistance sources against these viruses.
