| Abstract: | Pome fruit genetic resources collections constitute a highly valuable resource not only for fruit breeding but also for direct
use by nurseries, growers, and home gardeners. In order to use these resources efficiently and sustainably, reliable evaluation
data on fruit and tree characteristics must be generated. Here we focus on pome fruit genetic resources evaluated phenotypically
and genotypically for susceptibility to apple scab (Venturia
inaequalis), powdery mildew (Podosphaera
leucotricha), fire blight (Erwinia
amylovora), pear rust (Gymnosporangium
sabinae) and storage diseases (e.g., Penicillium
expansum). Examples are presented of several ongoing projects throughout Europe, with the aim to evaluate fruit genetic resources
for disease susceptibility and potential use in breeding and for commercial use. The COST action 864 has fostered international
cooperation in the evaluation of pome fruit genetic resources, and some of these evaluations therefore involve research groups
from several of the participating countries. |
