Didymella bryoniae, syn. Mycosphaerella melonis, is an ascomycete fungal plant pathogen that causes gummy stem blight on the family Cucurbitaceae (the family of gourds and melons), which includes cantaloupe, cucumber, muskmelon and watermelon plants.[1][2][3][4] The anamorph/asexual stage for this fungus is called Phoma cucurbitacearum.[2] When this pathogen infects the fruit of cucurbits it is called black rot.[2]
