Downy mildew resistance and genetic variability in a wild rocket germplasm coll...
Coelho, Paula S.; Reis, João M.; Pereira, Ana L.; Vairinhos, Aliana; Lopes, Violeta; Leitão, JoséOne hundred accessions of a "core collection" of Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC. and Eruca spp. were screened at seedling stage for resistance to downy mildew. Accessions tested at the seedling stage were assigned to 0-6 interaction phenotypes. All cultivated rocket (Eruca spp.) accessions exhibited a resistant (R) response both in cotyledons and in young leaves. The wild rocket (D. tenuifolia) accessions exhibi...
