Root system traits impact early fire blight susceptibility in apple (Malus × domestica)

Root system traits impact early fire blight susceptibility in apple (Malus × domestica)

Abstract Background Although it is known that resistant rootstocks facilitate management of fire blight disease, incited by Erwinia amylovora, the role of rootstock root traits in providing systemic defense against E. amylovora is unclear. In this study, the hypothesis that rootstocks of higher root...
