Specialization in Sphaerotheca fuliginea (SCHLECHT.) POLL

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...

Cucumber Response to Sphaerotheca fuliginea: Differences in Antioxidant Enzymes Activity and Pathogenesis-Related Gene Expression in Susceptible and Resistant Genotypes

Cucurbits powdery mildew is one of the most detrimental diseases of cucumber plants worldwide. A detailed insight into the biological processes leading to resistance or susceptibility to the pathogen would pave the road for an efficient disease-resistance breeding program. In the present study, the molecular and biochemical responses of a resistant vs. a susceptible cucumber cultivar infected w...

Hypothesis on the molecular basis of the antifungal activity of N-substituted imidazoles and triazoles.

known as denmert) caused total loss of its fungicidal activity towards Sphaerotheca fuliginea and Monilinia fmctigena. These workers suggested that the co-ordination of the heterocyclic meta-nitrogen atom of buthiobate to a cationic receptor site may be important for its fungicidal activity. The cationic receptor site mentioned would appear to be the Fez+ of the cytochrome P-450 catalysing step...

Doodle Poll Games

In Doodle polls, each voter may approve a subset of the available alternatives according to his preferences. While such polls can be captured by the standard models of Approval voting, Zou et al. [17] analyse reallife Doodle poll data and conclude that poll participants’ behaviour seems to be affected by considerations other than their intrinsic preferences over the alternatives. In particular,...
