Previous studieshave reported a locus major effect from PPV resistance on linkage group 1. The hybrids were grafted simultaneouslyand subsequently inoculated with the PPV-M and D strains. The symptom scoring on leaves was performed three timesover two vegetative cycles. The PPV resistant loci were mapped using composite interval mapping (CIM).This paperpresents data from PhD thesis part of the project POSDRU/107/1.5/S/76888, funded by European Social Fund throughthe Sectorial Operational Programme Human Resources Development 2007-2013.Key words: disease, markers, Prunus armeniaca, PPV, SSR, Sharka.INTRODUCTIONPlum pox virus (PPV) infection causes theSharka disease of Prunus, has spread from theBalkan countries throughout most of theEuropean subcontinent and around theMediterranean basin.Considerable economic loss and significantreduction in productive areas stimulatedbreeding programs aimed at enhancingresistance to the pathogen in such countries asGreece (Karayiannis et all., 2002), France(Audergon et all., 1994), Italy (Bassi et all.,1995), Spain (Egea et all., 1999) and the CzechRepublic (Polak, 1994).As a result of the intensive search for a sourceof resistance within available apricotgermplasm, some North American cultivars‘Stark Early Orange’ (SEO), ‘Goldrich’,‘Harlayne’, ‘NJA 45’, and others were found tohave natural resistance to PPV (Martinez-Gomez eta ll., 2000). These cultivars were usedas donors for a resistance trait in conventionalbreeding programs based on crosses betweenresistant and the best local cultivars susceptibleto virus.Recently, resistant selections have beenreleased for regional trials (Badenes and Llacer,2006; Dosba et all., 1992; Karayiannis et all,1999; Polak et all., 1997)177Several studies suggest that the resistance isconferred by a limited number (1–3) of genes(Dicenta et all., 2000; Dosba et all., 1992;Krska B et all., 2002; Karayiannis et all., 2007).Development of molecular marker maps forsegregating crosses is a significantaccomplishment toward understanding thegenetics of PPV resistance and developingmarkers that could potentially be useful inbreeding programs. Four molecular geneticmaps based on intraspecific crosses introducingPPV resistance from North American cultivars‘Stark Early Orange’ and ‘Goldrich’ have beenestablished to map a PPV resistance inapricot (Lambert et all., 2007; Sicard et all.,2007). On these maps, a major genomic regionassociated with PPV resistance was located onthe Prunus G1 at a distance of 20–40 cm. Intotal, five SSR markers linked to the targetedresistance locus were identified in this region.Three of them have been already successfullytested for marker assisted selection (MAS) in aset of susceptible/resistant cultivars.MATERIALS AND METHODSPlant materialWe are worked with 5 apricot population:
