An image-analysis based leaf disc assay for the rapid evaluation of genetic resistance to fire blight in apples
2024-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Fire blight, caused by Erwinia amylovora, is a destructive bacterial disease that severely hampers apple production. To conduct Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) studies for breeding resistant apple cultivars, phenotyping of large genetic mapping populations of apples for fire blight resistance is essential. This, however, necessitates precise, quantitative data spanning multiple years, locations, and pathogen strain...
