Summary: The objectives of this project were: 1. Identify genetic markers for fire blight resistance in the M. sieversii GMAL4593 mapping population for use in scion breeding programs. 2. Identify M. sieversii-specific molecular markers to add additional markers to the genetic map of M. sieversii. 3. Establish plantings of M. sieversii in WA and WV for the identification of additional sources of fire blight resistance in the future.
