主　　题：Muskmelon Fusarium wilt Isolation and identification 

摘      要：Fungal diseases often occur seriously in muskmelon in open field of Hubei Province in summer, especially in continuous cropping pattern, resulting in great economic losses. In this study, the pathogens of main fungal diseases in muskmelon in open field of Hubei Province were isolated, and they were identified by morphological and molecular techniques. The results showed that muskmelon fusarium wilt is a major disease in muskmelon in open field of Hubei Province in summer, and its pathogen was confirmed to be Fusarium oxysporum. In future studies, one pair of specific primers would be designed to detect different pathogenic races of Fusarium oxysporum so as to accelerate the detection and to shorten the detection time,thereby proving guidance for actual production.
