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

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.
