Resistance gene from wild apple discovered

Wädenswil/Zürich - Specialists from Agroscope and the Swiss university ETH Zurich together achieved a new milestone: they have pin pointed the resistance gene of the wild apple Malus x robusta 5, announced website proplanta.de.

Thanks to this knowledge, researchers can do their research for growing methods more efficiently than before in the seedlings who carry this gene. Researchers analysed over 2,200 apple seedlings. However it will still take 10 years before there will be an eating apple developed from it.
