Abstract
Background. Currently, the most widespread and harmful disease of cucumber is downy mildew. In this regard, a vitally important trend in cucumber breeding is the development of new cultivars, more resistant to downy mildew, for cultivation in different regions. Solution to this problem requires searching for donors of resistance for use in breeding practice.
Materials and methods. The studies were conducted at Volgograd Experiment Station of VIR using conventional methods. The material for the screening was the collection of cucumber genetic resources held by VIR.
Results and conclusions. During 32 years of work, 2873 cucumber accessions from VIR’s holdings were screened. As a result, 57 accessions with resistance or relative resistance to downy mildew were identified, i. e. 2.0% of the total number studied. Immune accessions were not found. Among the selected accessions, those with the highest yield are noteworthy: landraces from Azerbaijan (temp. k-3999 and temp. k-4004) as well as the cultivars from China ‘Zungsungerum-oi’ (temp. k-3701), ‘Tianin mini cucumber’ (k-4490), ‘Tian Uzin Yao No. 5’ (temp. k-3840) and ‘Tian Uzin Yang No. 6’ (temp. k-3841). Of the resistant and relatively resistant accessions, 76% were from Southeast Asia. During the years of study, 23 accessions, previously resistant to downy mildew, lost their resistance and suffered severe damage from the disease. Hence, it seems obvious that resistant accessions should be periodically retested for susceptibility to downy mildew. Twenty accessions were selected to form a group of tolerant ones. Of these, ‘Yeo leam sam chuk oi’ (k-4545), ‘Crispy Top F1’ (temp. k-3549) and ‘Pchelka F1’ (temp. k-3981) had the highest average yield.
