Resistance of apple clonal rootstocks to the fruit bacterial blight pathogen <i>Erwinia amylovora</i>

Abstract

The review is devoted to resistance of apple clonal rootstocks to bacterial blight of fruit trees considering current data on the biology of its pathogen Erwinia amylovora. The paper provides data on the main known loci of quantitative resistance in Malus species, their genetic markers, and resistance of the main forms of foreign selection. The study collects data on the resistance of Russian clonal rootstocks.
