Summary

Plants of the Cucurbita pepo L. cultivars Cinderella, Cobham Bush Green and Gold-rush were inoculated with six strains of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) from different geographical areas and known to differ in pathogenicity and virulence. The cv. Cinderella showed high resistance to all strains, cv. Cobham Bush Green was moderately resistant and cv. Goldrush was highly susceptible particularly to the CMV–SEV strain which caused necrotic symptoms.
