Four families of resistance gene homologues containing the nucleotide binding site (NBS) motif were obtained in Cucumis melo using degenerate primers designed from two conserved regions of known disease resistance genes. The four homologues had high levels of amino acid identity to NBS-containing resistance genes found in other species. Three of these homologues (MRGH4, MRGH21 and MRGH63) were placed in the genetic map of melon. The RFLP detected with MRGH21 was located on the distal part of Linkage Group 7. Homologues MRGH63 and MRGH4 detected RFLPs that mapped to Linkage Group 4. The map positions of these loci relative to those of resistance genes mapped in melon and the potential use of these loci in marker-assisted selection and map-based cloning strategies is discussed.
