Occurrence of Powdery Mildew on Safflower Caused by Sphaerotheca fuliginea in Korea

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...

Occurrence of Narcissus Smoulder Caused by Botrytis narcissicola in Korea

Leaf blight and bulb rot symptoms were observed on narcissus plants grown in Yongin, Cheongwon and Namhae areas in Korea during disease survey from 1999 to 2002. A total of 15 isolates of Botrytis sp. were obtained from the infected plant parts of narcissus.
