Most cultivated apple cultivars are highly susceptible to fire blight, caused by Erwinia amylovora. However, differences in resistance levels are observed among cultivars and …
The fruit and seed produced by a small number of crop plants provide the majority of food eaten across the world. Given the growing global population, there is a pressing need to …
The ability to graft genetically diverse apple cultivars onto diverse root systems (rootstocks) has increased the breeding efficiency of the whole apple system by dividing the …
Optimal strategies for genetic improvement in crops depend on accurate assessments of the genetic architecture of traits. The overall objective of the present study was to determine the …
