Analysis of strawberry promising varieties and selected forms by resistance to red stele root rot using molecular markers

Abstract

The analysis of the allelic state of the Rpf1 red stele root rot gene in 14 promising foreign strawberry varieties and 6 selected forms of the I.V. Michurin FSC breeding was completed. The Rpf1 gene in a heterozygous state was identified in strawberry forms 61-15 (Bylinnaya × Olimpiyskaya nadezhda), 69-29 (Feyerverk × Bylinnaya), and 72-71 (Privlekatelnaya × Bylinnaya), which makes it possible to recommend them for involvement in breeding work to create resistant to P. fragariae var. fragariae strawberry varieties. Strawberry varieties Lebedushka, Elianny, Florence, Malwina, Monterey, Polka, Verona, Vima Tarda Asia, Chamora Turusi, Clery, Flamenco, Salsa and Symphony, and selected forms 56-5 (Gigantella Maxim × Privlekatelnaya), 69-42 (Feyerverk × Bylinnaya) and 35-16 (922-67 × Maryshka) have a recessive homozygous genotype.
