This project focuses on developing apple varieties resistant to apple scab, a major disease affecting apple production. By characterizing the genetic basis of resistance in the 'Geneva' apple, it aims to facilitate the breeding of new cultivars that require fewer pesticides.
Apple scab caused by Venturia inaequalis is the major constraint to apple production worldwide, causing severe economic losses.
As current commercial cultivars are highly susceptible to scab, introduction of new scab-resistant cultivars will reduce the intensive use of pesticides now required to control this disease.
Although the ‘Geneva’ apple is an important source of resistance for breeding, its complex scab resistance has not been properly characterized.
In preliminary studies, we mapped to…
