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

Transient transformation of Podosphaera xanthii by electroporation of conidia [PDF]
BMC Microbiology, 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.

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