Interspecific hybridization of fig (Ficus carica L.) and Ficus erecta Thunb., a source of Ceratocystis canker resistance

2012-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Ceratocystis canker, which is caused by the fungus Ceratocystis fimbriata Ellis et Halsted, is one of the most severe diseases of the common fig (Ficus carica L.). In contrast, the wild fig species F.Â erecta Thunb. is resistant to this fungus. We performed interspecific hybridization between the common fig (seed parent) and F.Â erecta (pollen parent) through artificial pollination. Even though hybrid seeds showed...
