Charcoal rot (Macrophomina phaseolina) across melon diversity: evaluating the interaction between the pathogen, plant age and environmental conditions as a step towards breeding for resistance

2022-07-01

Abstract excerpt

Macrophomina phaseolina is a soil-borne fungal pathogen that incites charcoal rot in more than 500 plant species including melon, Cucumis melo. Disease incidence and severity are affected by host genetic background, plant age, temperature, and water economy. The non-genetic variation in disease severity exhibited by infected melon plants poses a challenge to breeding for resistance. The objective of this investiga...
