Fungicide Programs Affect ‘Practical’ Resistance Development in Cucurbit Powdery Mildew of Pumpkin

Application of Osthol Induces a Resistance Response Against Powdery Mildew in Pumpkin Leaves

Plants can defend themselves against fungal infection by natural means induced by biotic and abiotic elicitors. Osthol is a natural compound extracted from dried fruits of Cnidii Monnieri Fructus. In this study, it has been shown to not only be a fungicide with acceptable curative properties (control efficacy of 68.72), but it also showed a significant prophylactic effect (with control efficacy...

A brief global review on the species of cucurbit powdery mildew fungi and new records in Taiwan

In spite of the economic importance of powdery mildew on cucurbits, literature and databases about the fungal species reveal different species numbers and names, often indicating only two species, with inconsistent host specificities for different members of Cucurbitaceae. Revision of the available literature indicates the presence of at least six species of powdery mildews on Cucurbitaceae wit...

Powdery mildew resistance genes in wheat: verification of STS markers.

Five accessions of Aegilops speltoides and 67 European wheat cultivars (winter and spring) originating from the Czech Republic, Germany, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, United Kingdom, and 4 non-European wheat cultivars from Brazil and the USA were examined with molecular Sequence Tagged Site (STS) markers for resistance genes to powdery mildew: Pm 1, Pm 2, Pm 3 and Pm 13. All markers gave clear, rep...

Powdery mildew of soybeans.

development of diploid pollinator for resistance to powdery mildew disease in sugar beet

for development of pollinator parent resistant to powdery mildew disease of sugar beet, relatively resistant 14442 population was used. based on resistance index, 50 resisitant plants were selected to produce half sib family(h.s.f). after random pollination between these 50 plants, seed of h.s.f was harvesed. from these 50 plants, only 39 plants had produced enough seed. next year these h.s.f w...
