The haustorial transcriptome of the cucurbit pathogen Podosphaera xanthii reveals new insights into the biotrophy and pathogenesis of powdery mildew fungi [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Podosphaera xanthii is the main causal agent of powdery mildew disease in cucurbits and is responsible for important yield losses in these crops worldwide. Powdery mildew fungi are obligate biotrophs.

Extreme-phenotype genome-wide association study (XP-GWAS) of powdery mildew race 2 W tolerance in the USDA Citrullus germplasm collection [PDF]
Scientific ReportsPowdery mildew outbreaks, caused by Podosphaera xanthii, cause reduced watermelon yields as the plants produce fewer and smaller fruits due to premature leaf senescence. The reduced leaf canopy can decrease fruit quality due to sun scalding.
