Screening for Muskmelon Resistance to a Pathogenic Strain of Myrothecium roridum Using Detached Leaves

Cucurbit Genetics Cooperative Report 9:58-59 (article 17) 1986 Kuti, J., T.J. Ng and G.A. Bean University of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742 Introduction. Myrothecium roridum Tode ex Fries can be a serious pathogen to muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) (1,3). Genetic resistance to M. roridum can be assessed using seed germination and seedling growth tests (2); […]
