Molecular markers genetically linked to, and capable of identifying, a genetic locus in the cucumber plant (L.) genome conferring a general resistance against tobamoviruses, and especially against two commercially important pathogenic tobamoviruses, i.e., cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) and cucumber fruit mottle mosaic virus (CFMMV) are provided. Methods for providing a cucumber plant (L.,) plants, plant parts and fruits with resistance against tobamoviruses and especially against two commercially important pathogenic tobamoviruses, i.e., cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) and cucumber fruit mottle mosaic virus (CFMMV) are also provided.
