ANGULAR LEAF SPOT (PSEUDOMONAS) RESISTANCE IN CUCUMBER

The present invention relates to a cucumber plant ( Cucumis sativus L.) that is resistant to Pseudomonas syringae pv. lachrymans， a pathogen that causes angular leaf spot disease in cucumber. The invention further relates to markers linked to the resistance and the use of markers to identify resistant plants. The invention also relates to seed and progeny of such plants and to propagation material derived from such plants and for obtaining such plants. Furthermore， the invention relates to methods for producing， identifying and selecting Pseudomonas resistant cucumber plants， and for producing hybrid plant seed. The invention further relates to the use of a gene and/or QTLs and sequences thereof to identify/select Pseudomonas resistant cucumber plants.
