Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) causes severe yield losses in cucurbit crops across Mediterranean countries. The control of this virus is based on cultural practices to prevent the presence of its vector () and breeding for natural resistance, which requires the identification of the loci involved and the development of molecular markers for linkage analysis. In this work, we mapped a monogenic locus for resistance to CVYV in cucumber by using a Bulked Segregant Analysis (BSA) strategy coupled with whole-genome resequencing. We phenotyped 135 F families from a segregating population between a susceptible pickling cucumber and a resistant Long Dutch type cucumber for CVYV resistance. Phenotypic analysis determined the monogenic and incomplete dominance inheritance of the resistance. We named the locus . For mapping this locus, 15 resistant and 15 susceptible homozygous F individuals were selected for whole genome resequencing. By using a customized bioinformatics pipeline, we identified a unique region in chromosome 5 associated to resistance to CVYV, explaining more than 80% of the variability. The resequencing data provided us with additional SNP markers to decrease the interval of to 625 kb, containing 24 annotated genes. Markers flanking in a 5.3 cM interval were developed for marker-assisted selection (MAS) in breeding programs and will be useful for the identification of the target gene in future studies.

During the field visits in growing season of 2022 in Dammam Region of Saudi Arabia, begomovirus-like symptoms including leaf curling, leaf cupping, leaf distortion, vein thickening and reduced leaf size were observed in squash and cucumber fields. Twenty-five samples were collected from each crop and PCR amplification was done using general diagnostic begomovirus primers (AC-1048/AV-494 and Begomo I/Begomo II). The obtained results showed desired sized amplified DNA fragments (550 bp and 1.

Article Synopsis
- In the fall of 2023, watermelon and melon plants in Yuma County, AZ, and Imperial County, CA, showed mosaic symptoms, chlorotic spotting, and yellowing of older leaves, indicating potential viral infections commonly transmitted by whiteflies.
- Testing identified that most plants were infected with cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV), prevalent since 2006, but unusual symptoms suggested the presence of another virus.
- Further analysis found watermelon chlorotic stunt virus (WmCSV) in symptomatic plants, with genetic sequencing revealing high similarity to WmCSV isolates from production areas in Mexico and Palestine.

Article Synopsis
- Plant viruses are significant threats to cucurbit production in Jordan, with symptoms observed during surveys in September 2022 indicating infections correlated with high whitefly populations.
- A total of 80 leaf samples from various cucurbits were analyzed, revealing the presence of multiple viruses, including the squash vein yellowing virus, across symptomatic samples without detection in asymptomatic ones.
- Molecular approaches confirmed the presence of several RNA and DNA viruses, but none were found in healthy samples, highlighting the impact of these pathogens on cucurbit crops.

The increasing prevalence of whitefly-transmitted viruses affecting cucurbit crops has emerged as a significant concern for global cucurbit production. Two of the most widely prevalent threats in the Americas are cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV) and cucurbit chlorotic yellows virus (CCYV) (Crinivirus, Closteroviridae). These viruses induce similar foliar symptoms on cucurbit crops (Mondal et al.
