CucCAP scientist and colleagues review genetics of resistance to major diseases in squash and pumpkin

The production of squash and pumpkin crops is hindered by diseases caused by fungal, oomycete, and viral pathogens. Many sources of resistance to diseases such as powdery mildew, downy mildew, Phytophthora rot, and aphid and whitefly transmitted viruses have been identified in related Cucurbita species. Geoffrey Meru and colleagues at University of Florida review the use of genomic tools to identify genetic loci conferring resistance to facilitate more efficient deployment of these materials for breeding.
