Twenty years of cucurbit breeding research at the World Vegetable Center

Crop Science, Volume 65, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract The contribution of cucurbit crops to global food and nutrition security is immense. They are economically and nutritionally important to smallholder farmers in Asia, who account for 81% of global cucurbit production. World Vegetable Center (WorldVeg) has been focused for 20 years on four species: bitter gourd (Momordica charantia), ridge ...

Genome-wide identification of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade and expression profiling of CmMAPKs in melon (Cucumis melo L.).

PLoS ONE, 2020
Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) is a form of serine/threonine protein kinase that activated by extracellular stimulation acting through the MAPK cascade (MAPKKK-MAPKK-MAPK).

Fabaceous and Cucurbitaceous Hosts Are Infected With Distinct Populations of the Powdery Mildew Species Podosphaera xanthii

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 8, Page 2350-2358, October 2025.
Cross inoculations revealed clear differences in the host range of two Podosphaera xanthii populations infecting fabaceous and cucurbitaceous species. ABSTRACT Two species of powdery mildew, Podosphaera xanthii and Erysiphe vignae, cause disease in mungbean (Vigna radiata) in Australia. P.

Cropping Beyond the Visible; Innovative, UV‐Emitting LED Applications for the Horticultural Industry

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 4, Issue 3, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The estimated increase in the world population to 9.7 billion by 2050 and the increased frequency of extreme weather events caused by climate change will put further pressure on world food supply. This emphasises the need to optimise all agricultural techniques.

Gaps and perspectives of pathotype and race determination in Golovinomyces cichoracearum and Podosphaera xanthii

Mycoscience, 2011
Golovinomyces cichoracearum and Podosphaera xanthii (family Erysiphaceae) are the most important species causing cucurbit powdery mildew (CPM), a serious disease of field and greenhouse cucurbits. Both species are highly variable in their pathogenicity and virulence, as indicated by the existence of large number of different pathotypes and races ...

An AFLP marker linked to the Pm-1 gene that confers resistance to Podosphaera xanthii race 1 in Cucumis melo

Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2008
Brazil produced 330,000 metric tons of melons in 2005, principally in the Northeast region where one of the most important melon pathogens is the powdery mildew fungus Podosphaera xanthii. The disease is controlled mainly by incorporating single dominant
