Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the suitability of several apple cultivars for breeding of new genotypes resistant/low susceptible to apple scab and powdery mildew based on their general (GCA) and specific (SCA) combining abilities. Infection degree of the apple seedlings, being the progeny of 11 cultivars crossed in the model: ♀4 x ♂7 – 4 maternal cultivars (‘Alwa’, ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Free Redstar’, ‘Gold Milenium’) and 7 paternal cultivars (‘Glogierówka’, ‘Kronselka’, ‘Kosztela’, ‘McIntosh’, ‘Oliwka Żółta’, ‘Malinowa Oberlandzka’, ‘Koksa Pomarańczowa’) by both apple pathogens was evaluated in July 2019. Significantly negative value for the GCA effect for the infection degree by apple scab was estimated for ‘Free Redstar’. This indicates that this cultivar is a good donor of genes responsible for resistance to apple scab in the progeny. Negative value of GCA effect for susceptibility to powdery mildew was also stated for ‘Free Redstar’. This means that this cultivar may serve as good donor of genes determining resistance/low susceptibility to powdery mildew in its progeny. Negative SCA effects for resistance/low susceptibility to apple scab, moreover, were indicated for 3 cross combinations: ‘Free Redstar’ x ‘McIntosh’, ‘Alwa’ x ‘Malinowa Oberlandzka’ and ‘Alwa’ x ‘McIntosh’. This indicates that genetic interaction of both parental genotypes results in genetic determination of resistance or high tolerance to apple scab in their progeny.
