Fruit and foliar powdery mildew resistance mechanisms in cherry
Author: James Olmstead
Published: 2006
Summary: The specific objectives of this research were to: 1. Microscopically evaluate the resistant host/PM pathogen interaction at the cellular level to precisely determine the affects of host resistance on PM growth/inhibition using PM resistant selections from the Cherry Breeding Program. 2. Determine whether fruit from the same PM resistant sources as Objective 1 exhibit the same resistance response as foliar plant material.
