Abstract:The diseases resistances of 10 gourd seedlings to Phytophthora capsici were identified by artificially inoculating zoospore of P.capsici with different concentrations(2×103 spore·mL-1,2×104 spore·mL-1,2×105 spore·mL-1).The results indicated that the different gourd seedlings showed different resistance exhibition to P.capsici.Except for‘Zaoshu No.1’sponge gourd and‘Xinxiu’angular sponge gourd showed immunity to P.capsic,other nine species resistance decreased remarkably along with the increase of inoculating concentration.After inoculating zoospore with 2×104 spore·mL-1 concentration,‘Miben’pumpkin and‘Xinguangyou’chieh-qua showed strong disease resistance;‘Zaoyou’bitter gourd and‘Bifeng’cucumber had moderate resistance;‘Tedaxinhongbao’watermelon,‘Xiumei’green-rid oriental pickling melon,‘Yinhui’melon,‘Taiyou’clavated calabash,‘Jingying No.1’summer squash were highly susceptible.
