Study of a genetic collection of strawberry (<i>Fragaria</i> L.) for resistance to powdery mildew by A. S. Lyzhin, I.  V. Luk’yanchuk

“…All strawberry genotypes with locus 08 To-f were characterized by high field resistance to S. macularis in the conditions of Michurinsk, Tambov region. Thus, locus 08 To-f is promising for conferring resistance on local powdery mildew races, and markers IB535110 and IB533828 can be used in marker-assisted breeding programs to create powdery mildewresistant strawberry genotypes.…”
