Plum pox virus (PPV) is a devastating stone fruit disease of major importance, and better understanding of the genetic control of resistance to this trait would be useful for more efficient development of resistant cultivars. Previous studies have reported a locus major effect from PPV resistance on linkage group 1. The hybrids were grafted simultaneously and subsequently inoculated with the PPV-M and D strains. The symptom scoring on leaves was performed three times over two vegetative cycles. The PPV resistant loci were mapped using composite interval mapping (CIM).This paper presents data from PhD thesis part of the project POSDRU/107/1.5/S/76888, funded by European Social Fund through the Sectorial Operational Programme Human Resources Development 2007-2013.
