| Abstract:
A population of 265 open-pollinated seedlings grown at Lenswood in South Australia displayed variation in natural infestation by Myzus cerasi. Seedlings were rated as susceptible and resistant. Twenty-eight seedlings were resistant to black cherry aphid. Crosses between resistant and susceptible seedlings have been conducted with the aim of producing a segregating population so that the mode of inheritance can be determined. | |
