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...

Verticillium lecanii has been found growing in pustu'les of the uredial stage of a number of rust fungi (GAMS 1971, SCHROEDER and HAssEBRAuK 1957, CASPER and MENDGEN 1979, SPENCER 1'980), and in some insects (HALL 1980). SCHROEDER and HASSEBRi\UK (1957) observed that this fungus is able to penetrate the urediospores of Puccinia striiformis. It remains to be shown, however, whether Verticillium ...

Trade-offs in life-history traits is a central tenet in evolutionary biology, yet their ubiquity and relevance to realized fitness in natural populations remains questioned. Trade-offs in pathogens are of particular interest because they may constrain the evolution and epidemiology of diseases. Here, we studied life-history traits determining transmission in the obligate fungal pathogen, Podosp...

In October 2022, common Asian cowpea (<i>Vigna nakashimae</i>) powdery mildew disease was investigated at Yesan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, Korea (36°40’12.7"N,126°51’36.4"E). The mainly occurred on the front of leaves, and weak back side leaf. chasmothecia identified Analysis internal transcribed spacer rDNA sequence 28S large subunit sequence, along with morphological characteristics ...

The genus Mustilia Walker subgenus Smerkata Zolotuhin 2007 was revised by Zolotuhin (2007) to include seven species from the South-Palearctic to Oriental regions: (Mustilia (Smerkata) phaeopera Hampson (type species), Mustilia (Smerkata) fusca Kishida, Mustilia (Smerkata) craptalis Zolotuhin, Mustilia (Smerkata) soosi Zolotuhin, Mustilia (Smerkata) brechlini Zolotuhin, Mustilia (Smerkata) tzari...
