Cucurbitaceous Vegetables’ Gummy Stem Blight Research

Cucurbits are an important vegetable crop of the gourd family. Unfortunately, gummy stem blight (GSB) causes a major fungal disease on Cucurbitaceous crops. It is also known as black root when affecting fruits, and it found all over world. GSB caused by pathogen Didymella bryoniae. Research efforts have investigated different developmental stages various parts affected with this disease. In present paper, we completed systematic review for disease’s symptomatic, pathogenic microbes, resistance resources, inheritance regularity, molecular biology genomic study gene control method, etc., Cucurbits. This provides background rationale future studies aiming to address issues existing in research development.
