Response of Several Apple Varieties to Powdery Mildew (podosphaera Leucotricha) Attack in Central Transylvania Conditions

The response of apple cultivars to powdery mildew attack – Podosphaera leucotricha (Ell. et Everh.) Salm. – on leaves and shoots, for seven years (1990-1996), emphasised a large variability for this character existing within 75 apple varieties tested in an experimental field at the Fruit Research Station in Cluj-Napoca, Central Transylvania, Romania. The experimental results confirmed that the ...

Factors Affecting Airborne Concentrations of Podosphaera xanthii Conidia and Severity of Gerbera Powdery Mildew

To determine the factors affecting airborne conidial concentrations of Podosphaera xanthii Braun and Shishkoff and powdery mildew severity in greenhouse-grown potted gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii H. Bolus), airborne concentrations of conidia were monitored in a glass and polyethylene greenhouse. Temperature, relative humidity, and leaf wetness were recorded onsite, and the percentage of foliage wi...

The Podosphaera xanthii haustorium, the fungal Trojan horse of cucurbit-powdery mildew interactions.

The powdery mildew fungi are obligate biotrophic plant pathogens that develop a specialized structure for parasitism termed haustorium, which is responsible for nutrient uptake and factor exchange with the plant. In this work, we present a detailed microscopy analysis of the haustoria of the cucurbit powdery mildew fungus Podosphaera xanthii, a major limiting factor for cucurbit production worl...

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. ...
