Abstract: To provide theoretical for cucumber resistance breeding and disease control, this review provides recent data on the serious harm, biology characteristics, differentiation of pathotypes, host range of P. cubensis, and the inheritance of the resistance to the disease in cucumber, breeding for resistance and control of cucumber downy mildew. Many researchers have made investigation and exploration in differentiation of pathotypes, drug resistance of P. cubensis, identification of resistance against genes in cucumber etc. However, the dispute over differentiation of pathotypes and the inheritance of the resistance still exists, because of lacking standard identification method and highly variable among isolates, and few concerned researches in functional identification of resistance against genes were reported. So there are a lot of subjects which we will study and explore further. This review also summarizes the most important topics for future research.
