Authors: S.J. Tancred, J.N. Cummins, S.R. Dullahide, A.G. Zeppa and J.B. Heaton
Abstract:
The Australian disease-resistant apple breeding program has been conducted at Stanthorpe
since 1984. High fruit quality and resistance to
Venturia inaequalis and Podosphaera leucotricha
are the joint aims.
Visits in 1984 and 1991, by
fruit breeders from the USA breeding programs,
and germplasm exchanges have advanced the
program.
A cooperative pollination project in
1993 enabled advanced disease resistant cultivars
from the USA to be incorporated into the
program.
Seventy-five thousand seedlings have
been screened for disease resistance and are
being evaluated for fruit quality.
