Journal ArticleDOI
Grapevine powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator): a fascinating system for the study of the biology, ecology and epidemiology of an obligate biotroph.
David M. Gadoury,Lance Cadle-Davidson,Wayne F. Wilcox,Ian B. Dry,Robert C. Seem,Michael G. Milgroom +5 more
TL;DR: The pathogen is obligately parasitic on genera within the Vitaceae, including Vitis, Cissus, Parthenocissus and Ampelopsis, including grapevine (Vitis), particularly the European grape, V. vinifera, which is highly susceptible to powdery mildew.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ontogenic resistance to powdery mildew in grape berries.
TL;DR: Rather than a protracted and relatively static period of berry susceptibility lasting 3 months, fruit of V. vinifera appear to acquire ontogenic resistance rapidly after fruit set, a refocusing of disease management on this critical period of high fruit susceptibility should greatly improve the efficacy of fungicides directed against powdery mildew.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partial control of grape powdery mildew by the mycoparasite Ampelomyces quisqualis.
TL;DR: Disease severity but not incidence was reduced on Aurore vines in 1992 under A. quisqualis-colonized wicks and disease development was late and much reduced in 1993, which was a drier season than 1992.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of coat protein-mediated and genetically-derived resistance in cucumbers to infection by cucumber mosaic virus under field conditions with natural challenge inoculations by vectors
TL;DR: During three consecutive growing seasons, transgenic cucumbers of the cultivar Poinsett 76 possessing the coat protein gene of a non-aphid transmissible strain of cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) were compared with the non-transformed plants of the same cultivar and CMV-resistant Marketmore 76.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of Powdery Mildew on Vine Growth, Yield, and Quality of Concord Grapes.
TL;DR: The most significant effects of powdery mildew were on berry sugar levels and juice color and acidity, which on the unsprayed vines were sometimes reduced below minimally acceptable thresholds for processed grapes.
