CDM reported in Ontario – July 4th, 2023

July 4, 2023July 20, 2023 cuccap Cucurbit Crop & Disease Management Resources

Cucurbit downy mildew has been identified in a cucumber field in Kent County. Disease presence is very low with less than one percent of the plants exhibiting lesions at this time. The field has been treated with preventative fungicides. This is the first report of cucurbit downy mildew in Ontario for the 2023 growing season.

CucCAP scientists use cucumber core collection to map fruit quality traits

The CucCAP core collection, comprised of 388 accessions representing >96% of the genetic diversity for cucumber present in the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System, harbors important sources of disease resistance. As sources of resistance are often present in germplasm with poor fruit quality, scientists from Michigan State University characterized the collection for fifteen fruit quality traits. Genetic associations (QTL) for each trait were identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Many of the genetic locations were in close vicinity to previously identified fruit trait QTL and candidate genes; several novel loci and genes potentially important for these traits were also identified.
