The inheritance of the hypersensitivity resistance of European plum (<i>Prunus domestica</i> L.) against the <i>Plum pox virus</i>
Abstract
In between 2003 and 2009 more than 500 seedlings have been tested for hypersensitivity resistance against the Plum pox virus (PPV), which causes Sharka disease. The seedlings had at least one hypersensitive parent genotype. They were tested for hypersensitivity resistance by double grafting onto PPV infected interstem in the green house. In crossing combinations with two hypersensitive parents the percentage of hypersensitive seedlings was highest. There is also no equal distribution of the genotypes over the individual hypersensitivity classes (HC) in all crossing combinations. The percentage of hypersensitive seedlings strongly depends on the parentage. Furthermore investigations regarding the origin of the hypersensitivity resistance of the cultivar ‘Jojo’, which is a descendant of a crossing combination from ‘Ortenauer’ × ‘Stanley’, were done. It was shown that the cultivar ‘Ortenauer’ is the donor of the hypersensitivity trait.Keywords: Plum pox virus, hypersensitivity, inheritance, Prunus domestica L., resistance
