Abstract
The metabolic and physiological changes accompanying powdery mildew infection are less well understood than those induced by other biotrophic fungi, such as rusts. Among the powdery mildew diseases investigated, most attention has been paid to those affecting cereals rather than dicotyledon hosts and metabolic studies have tended to ignore lipid changes, Sphaerotheca fullginea, which is responsible for substantial losses in cucumber production, is being investigated with a view to identifying metabolic features relating to the etiology and control of powdery mildew disease in this crop.
