Cucurbit Powdery Mildew Population Virulence Variation – a Complex View from a Global Perspective

Cucurbit powdery mildew (CPM) is mainly caused by two obligate ectoparasites, Golovinomyces orontii s.l. (Go) and Podosphaera xanthii (Px), that are highly variable in virulence. Various independent systems of CPM race determination and denomination have been used in recent decades. We recently developed new tools to enhance research of CPM virulence variation. Diversity models were […]
