The parents Swarna Agethi and IIHR-438 were used and developed six generations (P1, P2, F1, F2, BC1 and BC2), the parents, filial generations and backcross populations were deployed for genetic studies. The Mendelian segregation suggested that the downy mildew resistance was governed by two pairs of recessive genes with inhibitory recessive epistasis (3 resistant: 13 susceptible) gene interaction. IIHR-438 possessed a higher degree of resistance; and epistatic interaction (additive dominance) was of greater importance than the main effect. Bulk segregant analysis (BSA) aided in identifying the two SSR markers (SSR 35 and SSR 413), which had polymorphism between resistant and susceptible bulk, and the markers among backcross population segregated in an equal (1:1) ratio. Genetic distance between identified markers was found to be 16.6 cM from the QTL IciMapping V3.2 software, which depicted two new quantitative trait loci (QTLs) on chromosome number 3. These findings on genetics of downy mildew resistance provide an implication to advance the reciprocal recurrent selection followed by pedigree selection to aid in the development of resistant varieties in cucumber. 2025 Wiley-VCH GmbH.
