Field apple scab susceptibility of a diverse Malus germplasm collection identifies potential sources of resistance for apple breeding

Abstract Background Breeding for resistance to apple scab (caused by Venturia inaequalis), the most devastating fungal disease of apples, relies on genetic resources maintained in germplasm collections. Methods To identify new sources of scab resistance, we evaluated 177 Malus accessions, including...
