Abstract
Developing fire blight tolerant and resistant apple cultivars is a promising contribution to the management of this devastating bacterial disease.
Different sources of fire blight resistance are available for breeding resistant apples.
A combination of phenotypic testing and molecular analysis is currently underpinning the development of fire blight resistant cultivars carrying commercial fruit quality at the Research Station Agroscope in Wädenswil.
For phenotypic testing, artificial shoot inoculation tests in the glasshouse and artificial flower inoculation tests in a protected orchard are used.
Breeding aims are durable disease resistance against fire blight (Erwinia amylovora), scab (Venturia inaequalis) and powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha) combined with high fruit quality and good productivity.
The new cultivar ‘Ladina’ displays scab resistance combined with fire blight tolerance as well as good production and fruit quality features.
