Abstract excerpt
Genetic resistance is a useful strategy to control plant disease, but its effectiveness may be reduced over time due to the emergence of pathogens able to circumvent the defenses of the plant. However, the pyramiding of different resistance factors in the same plant can improve the effectiveness and durability of the resistance. To investigate the potential for this approach in apple to control scab disease we...
