Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The soil-borne oomycete Phytophthora cactorum causes crown rot, a major disease of the allo-octoploid strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch., 2n = 8× = 56) that limits cultivation worldwide. Resistance to P. cactorum is a highly desirable trait but is typically quantitative and moderately heritable. A better understanding of the genetic basis of resistance to crown rot is essential for developing...
