Article Synopsis
- Apple's genetic diversity is limited, making it susceptible to various diseases, prompting breeders to seek resistant sources from cross-compatible species.
- A study evaluated 174 apple accessions for resistance to powdery mildew and frogeye leaf spot over two years, revealing a significant increase in disease incidence.
- Of the accessions tested, 65 showed resistance to powdery mildew, while only one showed moderate resistance to frogeye leaf spot, indicating potential new genetic resources for future apple breeding efforts.
