Abstract excerpt
The epidemiology of gummy stem blight (GSB) of cucurbits, particularly the sources of inoculum for epidemics, and the regional population genetic structure of the causal fungi Stagonosporopsis cucurbitacearum (syn. Didymella bryoniae), S. citrulli, and S. caricae are not well understood. Our goal was to better understand the population structure and fine-scale spatial genetic structure of Stagonosporopsis spp. in...
