CmSGT1, Transcriptionally Regulated by CmWRKY21 and CmWRKY31, Improves Powdery Mildew Resistance in Cucurbita moschata [PDF]
Plant DirectPowdery mildew (PM), mainly caused by Podosphaera xanthii, is a severe destructive disease that threatens the production of cucurbit crops globally. Heterologous transformation has shown that the CmSGT1 gene (suppressor of the G2 allele of skp1) improved

Transcriptome sequence resource for the cucurbit powdery mildew pathogen Podosphaera xanthii. [PDF]
Sci Data, 2019 AbstractPodosphaera xanthiiis the main causal agent of cucurbit powdery mildew in Southern Italy. Illumina sequencing of mRNA from twoP. xanthiiisolates of opposite mating types (MAT1-1andMAT1-2) and their sexual cross was used to obtain a detailedde novoTrinity-based assembly of the transcriptome of the fungus.

Transient transformation of Podosphaera xanthii by electroporation of conidia. [PDF]
BMC Microbiol, 2015 Powdery mildew diseases are a major phytosanitary issue causing important yield and economic losses in agronomic, horticultural and ornamental crops. Powdery mildew fungi are obligate biotrophic parasites unable to grow on culture media, a fact that has significantly limited their genetic manipulation.

Identification of Gene Responsible for Conferring Resistance against Race KN2 of Podosphaera xanthii in Melon. [PDF]
Int J Mol SciPowdery mildew caused by Podosphaera xanthii is a serious fungal disease which causes severe damage to melon production. Unlike with chemical fungicides, managing this disease with resistance varieties is cost effective and ecofriendly. But, the occurrence of new races and a breakdown of the existing resistance genes poses a great threat.

Phospholipid production and signaling by a plant defense inducer against Podosphaera xanthii is genotype-dependent. [PDF]
Hortic ResAbstract Biotrophic phytopathogenic fungi such as Podosphaera xanthii have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to adapt to various environments causing powdery mildews leading to substantial yield losses. Today, due to known adverse effects of pesticides, development of alternative control means is crucial and can be achieved by combining ...
