Title Of Article :
Resistance breeding to monilinia on apricot
Abstract :
Brown rot [Monilinia laxa (Aderh. Rulh)] Honey is the one of the significant fungal diseases of stone and pome fruits. The apricot is particularly susceptible to this disease. In general, the fungus mainly causes to blight of flower and young shoot, and also mature fruits are rotted, and the resulting disease can lead to significant yield losses. If infection is become severe, one piece or almost all of the apricot cultivars can be dried. In some cases, brown rot control is carried out by applying fungicidal treatments. Since the chemical control presents disadvantages such as high power consumption, soil and environment pollution and residues in fruit, only the genetic control is effective. It is very important to improve resistant varieties in integrated management of diseases. Selection, hybridization are used to obtain new promising types resistant to brown rot and artificial inoculation tests are carried out.
