Abstract excerpt
Angular leaf spot (ALS), caused by Xanthomonas fragariae, is a bacterial disease that limits strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa) productivity worldwide. Although major resistance loci have been identified in wild Fragaria species, their introgression into elite germplasm remains constrained by linkage drag and inconsistent inheritance. To dissect the genetic architecture of ALS resistance, we evaluated a diverse...
