Summary
This abstract provides methods for evaluating fruit varieties and genetic resource accessions for their susceptibility to Brown rot. It supports users in assessing disease severity on infected fruit, enabling the identification and selection of cultivars with reduced susceptibility to this disease.
| EPrint Type: | Practice tool |
|---|---|
| Teaser: | Learn how to evaluate and select fruit varieties with reduced susceptibility to Brown rot disease. |
| What problem does the tool address?: | Brown rot (Monilinia spp.) on fruit of peach & nectarine occurs mainly at harvest or in the postharvest period, often on injured skin parts. Fruits with symptoms cannot be sold. |
| What solution does the tool offer?: | Based on an earlier validated protocol, the InnOBreed peach working group, including experts from various institutions and countries, has developed practical guidelines to assist breeders and growers in the identification of the susceptibility of cultivars on Brown rot agent in the field observation. |
