Also provided is a method of selecting a cucurbit plant comprising at least one resistance gene, the method comprising introducing into the cucurbit plant a nucleotide sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 1-52, wherein the expression of the nucleotide sequence produces a hypersensitive response in a cucurbit plant comprising a resistance gene, thereby identifying the cucurbit plant as comprising a resistance gene; and selecting the plant having the hypersensitive response and identified as comprising said resistance gene.
