Identification of Resistant Sources to Leaf Rust and Powdery Mildew Disease in Oats

Diagrammatic scale to assess downy mildew severity in melon

Hortic. bras., v. 27, n. 1, jan.-mar. 2009 The Northeast region of Brazil responds for nearly 95% of the national melon (Cucumis melo L.) production. Located at this region, States of Rio Grande do Norte and Ceará supply respectively 55 and 28% of the total melon harvested in Brazil (FNP, 2007). The expansion of the area used for melon production in this region, in addition to an intensive year...

Arabidopsis is susceptible to infection by a downy mildew fungus.

A population of Arabidopsis thaliana growing locally in a suburb of Zürich called Weiningen was observed to be infected with downy mildew. Plants were collected and the progress of infection was investigated in artificial inoculations in the laboratory. The plants proved to be highly susceptible, and pronounced intercellular mycelial growth, haustoria formation, conidiophore production, and spo...

Downy Mildew Disease Progress in Resistant and Susceptible Cucumbers Tested in the Field at Different Growth Stages

Downy mildew, caused by the oomycete pathogen Pseudoperonospora cubensis (Berkeley & Curtis) Rostov, is a major foliar disease of cucumber. Ten years after the reemergence of P. cubensis, downy mildew continues to be a major threat to cucumber production in the United States. Cucumber accessions with high levels of resistance have been identified. Development of cultivars with high levels of re...
