Abstract:Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae (Psa) is a bacterial pathogen of kiwifruit. This pathogen causes leaf-spotting, cane dieback, wilting, cankers (lesions), and in severe cases, plant death. Families of diploid A. chinensis seedlings grown in the field show a range of susceptibilities to the disease with up to 100% of seedlings in some families succumbing to Psa. But the effect of selection for field resistance to Psa on the alleles that remain in surviving seedlings has not been assessed. The objective of th… Show more
