The genome sequence and gene prediction of Golovinomyces cichoracearum UMSG1 have not been determined by the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), but were downloaded from NCBI on April 2, 2021. In order to allow comparative analyses with other fungal genomes sequenced by the JGI, a copy of this genome is incorporated into Mycocosm. Please note that this copy of the genome is not maintained by NCBI and is therefore not automatically updated. JGI tools were used to automatically annotate predicted proteins.

Golovinomyces cichoracearum (Erysiphe cichoracearum) is a fungal plant pathogen that causes powdery mildew disease of cucurbits, including melon, cucumber, pumpkin, and squash. The primary symptoms are white, powder-like spots on the leaves and stems.
