Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource A spray-inoculation method with carborundum-containing X. cucurbitae suspensions produced symptoms on cucurbit plants within 7 days.
- Intervention effect X. cucurbitae isolates from cucurbit fields in Illinois, Michigan, Kansas, Ohio and Wisconsin were more virulent than the reference ATCC 23378 strain.
- Observation In the greenhouse, all commercial cultivars of gourds, pumpkins and squashes developed typical bacterial spot symptoms.
- Observation In field studies, leaves and fruits of Cucurbita became infected by both natural inoculum and spray-inoculation with an X. cucurbitae isolate from Illinois.
- Observation Nine of 300 Cucurbita accessions were classified as resistant.
- Observation Twenty-one of 300 Cucurbita accessions were classified as less resistant.
- Observation Resistant and less resistant accessions belong to Cucurbita maxima, C. maxima subsp. maxima, C. maxima subsp. andreana and C. okeechobeensis subsp. martinezii.
