CucCAP researchers develop new methods for detection and analysis of downy mildew pathogen on cucumber

Sporangia of Pseudoperonospora cubensis which cause downy mildew on cucumber are visually indistinguishable from those of P. humuli which cause hop downy mildew and often appear earlier in the season. This could lead to unnecessary sprays. Researchers in Dr. Mary Hausbeck’s group at Michigan State University have developed a new, highly sensitive DNA-based protocol to genetically distinguish the two pathogens from spore trap samples. The enhanced sensitivity also enables detection 5-10 days before symptoms appear in cucumber fields, providing a broader window for initiation of chemical control.
