Two Receptor-Like Genes, Vfa1 and Vfa2, Confer Resistance to the Fungal Pathogen Venturia inaequalis Inciting Apple Scab Disease
The Vf locus, originating from the crabapple species Malus floribunda 821, confers resistance to five races of the fungal pathogen Venturia inaequalis, the causal agent of apple scab disease. Previously, a cluster of four receptor-like genes, Vfa1, Vfa2, Vfa3, and Vfa4, was identified within the Vf...
