in the framework of a study on the powdery mildew fungi in iran, several infected plant specimens were collected from around the country during 2001-2009. based on the results of the study erysiphe quercicola on quercus sp. and e. malvae on malva sp., golovinomyces ambrosiae on helianthus spp., golovinomyces fischeri on senecio glaucus, are the newly reported for iranian mycobiota. in addition,...

Project Number: 13C-3361-4795 TITLE: Epidemiology and control of apple powdery mildew Principal Investigator: G. G. Grove, Plant Pathology, WSU-IAREC, Prosser, WA Objectives • Develop a forecasting model to improve management of apple powdery mildew, caused by Podosphaera leucotricha. • Develop biorational disease and fungicide-resistance management programs • Lower disease pressure through cha...

Understanding the mechanisms responsible for divergence and specialization of pathogens on different hosts is of fundamental importance, especially in the context of the emergence of new diseases via host shifts. Temporal isolation has been reported in a few plants and parasites, but is probably one of the least studied speciation processes. We studied whether temporal isolation could be respon...

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 ...
