Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: The development of disease resistant cucurbit crops has been the focus
of many germplasm evaluation and enhancement studies. This presentation
especially emphasizes some of these studies that have dealt with the
recognition of physiological specialization within fungal pathogen
species that attack cucurbit crops. This recognition has been basic to
and has driven many efforts to identify sources of resistance and to
incorporte this resistance into cucurbit crops.
