Powdery Mildew, Caused by Leveillula taurica, on Matilija Poppy in California

Loss of Function in Mlo Orthologs Reduces Susceptibility of Pepper and Tomato to Powdery Mildew Disease Caused by Leveillula taurica

Powdery mildew disease caused by Leveillula taurica is a serious fungal threat to greenhouse tomato and pepper production. In contrast to most powdery mildew species which are epiphytic, L. taurica is an endophytic fungus colonizing the mesophyll tissues of the leaf. In barley, Arabidopsis, tomato and pea, the correct functioning of specific homologues of the plant Mlo gene family has been foun...

first report of powdery mildew of rosa persica caused by leveillula taurica from iran

during the study of powdery mildew related to erysiphaceae family from abardeh region in mashhad (khorasan-e-razavi province), one species of rose (rosa persica michx.ex juss, summer 2006) with symptoms of powdery mildew was collected. the symptoms observed with the naked eye including the dense cottony shape mycelia infected the leaf surfaces as well as some parts of the stem. mycelia were den...

FIRST RECORD OF GENUS LEVEILLULA ON A MEMBER OF THE MORACEAE: Leveillula taurica ON Ficus carica

A powdery mildew fungus Leveillula taurica (Erysiphales) is reported for the first time on fig tree (Ficus carica) (Moraceae) in Sistan region, Iran. One hundred fungal organs including clistothecia, asci, ascospores and conidia, were micrometried by the calibrated Olympus BH2 microscope. All characters of the organs were recorded and drawn using a drawing tube. Conidiophores were with cylindri...

Molecular Mapping of PMR1, a Novel Locus Conferring Resistance to Powdery Mildew in Pepper (Capsicum annuum)

Powdery mildew, caused by Leveillula taurica, is a major fungal disease affecting greenhouse-grown pepper (Capsicum annuum). Powdery mildew resistance has a complex mode of inheritance. In the present study, we investigated a novel powdery mildew resistance locus, PMR1, using two mapping populations: 102 'VK515' F2:3 families (derived from a cross between resistant parental line 'VK515R' and su...
