Neem oil effectively manages powdery mildew on many plants by interfering with the fungus' metabolism and terminating spore production. (wikipedia.org)
The powdery mildew fungus Podosphaera fusca (synonym Podosphaera xanthii) is the main causal agent of cucurbit powdery mildew and one of the most important limiting factors for cucurbit production worldwide. (edu.au)
The challenge of mitigating the decline in both yield and fruit quality due to the intrusion of powdery mildew (PM) fungus looms as a pivotal concern in the domain of bitter melon cultivation. (bvsalud.org)
Genetically distinct groups of Erysiphe necator, the fungus causing grapevine powdery mildew infect grapevine in Europe, yet the processes sustaining stable genetic differences between those groups are less understood. (bvsalud.org)
Fungi4
Powdery mildew diseases are caused by many different species of ascomycete fungi in the order Erysiphales. (wikipedia.org)
Powdery mildew fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually. (wikipedia.org)
Powdery mildew fungi must be adapted to their host for successful infection. (wikipedia.org)
Our results showed that the TUB2 gene is a good marker for molecular phylogenetics in powdery mildew fungi but it is unsuitable for the analysis of intraspecific diversity in P. fusca. (edu.au)
Resistant2
You can look for powdery mildew resistant varieties in seed catalogs and alternate between resistance varieties and not. (wikipedia.org)
Moreover, the recognition of 40 P. xanthii-inducible genes, encompassing elements such as pathogenesis-related proteins, calmodulin, WRKY transcription factors, and Downy mildew resistant 6, assumes pronounced significance as they emerge as pivotal contenders in the domain of disease control.

Gene2
In this study, we isolated and characterised the β-tubulin-encoding gene of P. fusca (PfTUB2) to develop molecular tools with different applications in powdery mildew research. (edu.au)
Multiple scientific studies describe a peculiar form of PM-resistance associated at the inactivation of specific members of the Mildew Locus O (MLO) gene family, referred to as mlo-resistance. (bvsalud.org)
Resistance1
Furthermore, an allele-specific PCR assay for the detection of resistance to methyl-2-benzimidazole carbamate (MBC) fungicides in P. fusca was developed based on the correlation between the single amino acid change E198A in β-tubulin and the MBC resistance phenotype. (edu.au)
Diseases2
Powdery mildew is one of the easier plant diseases to identify, as its symptoms are quite distinctive. (wikipedia.org)
Apple is host to a wide range of pests and diseases, with several of these, such as apple scab, powdery mildew and woolly apple aphid, being major causes of damage in most areas around the world. (edu.au)
Plant4
The lower leaves are the most affected, but the mildew can appear on any above-ground part of the plant. (wikipedia.org)
As the disease progresses, the spots get larger and denser as large numbers of asexual spores are formed, and the mildew may spread up and down the length of the plant. (wikipedia.org)
Powdery mildews are phytopathogens whose growth and reproduction are entirely dependent on living plant cells. (edu.au)
Powdery mildew (PM) is a widespread plant disease that causes significant economic losses in thousands crops of temperate climates, including Lamiaceae species. (bvsalud.org)
Important1
It is important to be aware of powdery mildew and its management as the resulting disease can significantly reduce important crop yields. (wikipedia.org)
White1
Infected plants display white powdery spots on the leaves and stems. (wikipedia.org)
