Tissue Culture and Quantification of Individual-Level Resistance to Anther-Smut Disease in Silene vulgaris.
2007-05-01
Abstract excerpt
Resistance to systemic diseases is often difficult to measure quantitatively because individuals can be scored only as either diseased or healthy. A technique is described for cloning individuals of Silene vulgaris plants using the tissue culture of seedling meristems. Inoculation of such clonally replicated genotypes within two families shows that segregation of resistance to anther-smut disease caused by the sys...
