Abstract
On the cover: Pumpkin and squash are important crops worldwide. Some of the main plant diseases affecting cultivation of pumpkin and squash include mildews, viruses, and fruit and stem rots. Development of cultivars resistant to these diseases is important for growers as it helps cut the costs associated with production. Many sources of resistance to these diseases have been identified. DNA markers linked to genetic resistance will aide plant breeders in the process of selecting plants carrying suitable resistance genes. See Sabharwal et al. (https://doi.org/10.1002/csc2.21358).

期刊介绍:
Articles in Crop Science are of interest to researchers, policy makers, educators, and practitioners. The scope of articles in Crop Science includes crop breeding and genetics; crop physiology and metabolism; crop ecology, production, and management; seed physiology, production, and technology; turfgrass science; forage and grazing land ecology and management; genomics, molecular genetics, and biotechnology; germplasm collections and their use; and biomedical, health beneficial, and nutritionally enhanced plants. Crop Science publishes thematic collections of articles across its scope and includes topical Review and Interpretation, and Perspectives articles.
