United Kingdom: Spinach varieties resistant to new downy mildew races, according to IWGP

Published 2021년 4월 30일

Tridge summary

The International Working Group on Peronospora in spinach (IWGP) has identified two new races of the downy mildew pathogen (Peronospora farinosa f. sp. spinaciae) on spinach, Pfs: 18 and 19. However, a significant portion of Enza Zaden's spinach portfolio is shown to be resistant to these new races. The IWGP is dedicated to monitoring the emergence of the pathogen strains with varied virulence from known races, in order to facilitate clear communication about any resistance-breaking races that survive for several years, spread widely, and cause significant economic damage.
