RESUMO
The employment of genetic resistance to minimize yield losses induced by Phytophthora capsici remains unexplored in melon (Cucumis melo). A diverse collection of melon accessions was evaluated against P. capsici isolates at the seedling stage. In the first screening assay, 105 accessions were evaluated using isolate PCpe-04 obtained from cucumber (Cucumis sativus). In a second assay, 31 accessions displaying high levels of resistance in the first assay were challenged with a distinct isolate (PCpe-09 also from cucumber). In a third assay, a subset of 14 selected accessions was re-evaluated using isolates PCpe-09 and PCmo-07 (from strawberry). In the last screening, seven accessions with high levels of resistance across all assays were challenged with five isolates from representative host species [PC-Vagem (snap bean), PCp-129 (Capsicum chinense), PCp-155 (C. annuum), PCpe-09 and PCmo-07] to assess their reaction against a varied sample of P. capsici isolates. For two accessions (CNPH-093 and L040), all plants remained free of symptoms after inoculation with all five isolates. Accessions WMR-29, CNPH 084, CNPH 088 and CNPH 092 were also free of symptoms to all isolates, except PCmo-07. These large-spectrum resistance sources might be useful for breeding programs aiming to incorporate resistance against P. capsici in elite melon lines.
