In vitro selection in resistance breeding of strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa duch.).

Zebrowska JI1.
Communications in agricultural and applied biological sciences.Commun Agric Appl Biol Sci.2010;75(4):699-704.
Genetic resistance to pathogenetic soil-borne fungus Verticillium dahliae Kleb. was examined in two strawberry somaclones. Strawberry somaclones were obtained in sterile culture from runner tips of cultivars 'Merton Dawn' and 'Selva'. In vitro selection was performed with the use of homogenate of li
