2007-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Fire blight (FB), caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Erwinia amylovora is a dangerous disease on pome fruit, including apple. The FB-susceptible cultivar 'Idared' was crossed with the resistant wild species clone Malus x robusta 5. A segregating population of 146 progeny has been tested by artificial shoot inoculation for susceptibility to FB. Progeny were infected from 0% to 100% of the shoot length. To identi...
