Effects of Streptomyces griseofuscus 200401 on Melon Powdery Mildew in Greenhouse

Fruit Yield, Quality Variables, and Powdery Mildew Susceptibility of Galia Melon Cultivars Grown in a Passively Ventilated Greenhouse

Galia muskmelon (Cucumis melo L. var. Reticulatus Ser.) is an F1 hybrid known for exceptional fruit flavor. Since introduction to the market in 1973, the original ‘Galia’ has become a trade name for look-alike cultivars. Some ‘Galia’-type cultivars are firmer, ship well, and may be less susceptible to powdery mildew [Podosphaera xanthii (Px) (syn. Sphaerotheca fulignea)] than a true ‘Galia’, bu...

Whole Genome Re-Sequencing and Characterization of Powdery Mildew Disease-Associated Allelic Variation in Melon

Powdery mildew is one of the most common fungal diseases in the world. This disease frequently affects melon (Cucumis melo L.) and other Cucurbitaceous family crops in both open field and greenhouse cultivation. One of the goals of genomics is to identify the polymorphic loci responsible for variation in phenotypic traits. In this study, powdery mildew disease assessment scores were calculated ...

Powdery mildew (Sphaerotheca fuliginea) resistance in melon is selectable at the haploid level.

The major cause of powdery mildew in melons (Cucumis melo L.) is the fungus Sphaerotheca fuliginea. There are several cultivar- and season-specific races of this fungus. In order to control powdery mildew, it is important to introduce resistance to fungal infection into new cultivars during melon breeding. Haploid breeding is a powerful tool for the production of pure lines. In this study, it w...

Powdery mildew (Podosphaera xanthii) resistance in melon is categorized into two types based on inhibition of the infection processes.

Physiological races of powdery mildew (Podosphaera xanthii) cause different symptoms in eight melon lines. Infection by races 1, 2, and 5 was examined in different melon lines. After a compatible reaction, conidia germination, haustorium initiation from the germ tube, germ tube branching, and sporulation occurred within 12, 24, 48, and 120 h, respectively, and the conidia matured within 240 h. ...
