Cucurbita species can be affected by soil-borne pathogens, such as Phytopthora capsici and Fusarium solani f. sp. cucurbitae (Fsc). Diverse commercial conserved lines of spp. were tested. C. pepo subsp. genotypes showed the highest susceptibility to both pathogens. The tolerance P. Fsc was then screened in a zucchini mutant population. Two M3 (Cp107 Cp116) with high occurrence tolerant individu...

Hot pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a national spice and vegetable of Ethiopia, produced as cash crop. Biotic abiotic stresses are very common throughout the producing area country.  Diseases major constraint to hot production. An experimental trial was conducted at Harato Research site, Wollega University, Ethiopia evaluate reaction five varieties (Mareko Fana, Bako Local, Melka Shote, Awa...

The oomycete pathogen Phytophthora infestans causes potato late blight, one of the most economically damaging plant diseases worldwide. P. infestans produces AVR3a, an essential modular virulence effector with an N-terminal RXLR domain that is required for host-cell entry. In host cells, AVR3a stabilizes and inhibits the function of the E3 ubiquitin ligase CMPG1, a key factor in host immune res...
