Herança da resistência do acesso de melancia PI 595201 a isolado de PRSV-W do Estado do Tocantins

Abstract

Aiming to identify the type of inheritance, the number of genes and genetic and phenotypic parameters of PI 595201 access resistance to an isolate of PRSV-W in the North of Brazil, was conducted an experiment in the experimental area of the Department of Plant Production of the Universidade Federal do Tocantins, in a greenhouse. From the cross between the susceptible cultivar ‘Crimson Sweet’ (P1 ) and resistant access ‘PI 595201’ (P2 ) was obtained F1 and segregating generations, whose plants were inoculated and evaluated for resistance based on leaf symptoms. Was evaluated 48, 48, 80, 200, 100 and 100 plants of P1 , P2 , F1 , F2 , RC11 and RC12 generations, respectively, in a completely randomized design with four replications. From the analysis of medium components in the control of resistance were determined two genes, predominantly additive gene effects, followed by effects of incomplete dominance to increase the resistance. The heritability for resistance in broad and narrow sense were 0.48 and 0.38, respectively
