Rootstock-regulated gene expression patterns associated with fire blight resistance in apple

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Desirable apple varieties are clonally propagated by grafting vegetative scions onto rootstocks. Rootstocks influence many phenotypic traits of the scion, including resistance to pathogens such as <it>Erwinia amylovora</it&g...
