Breeding high quality apples combined with excellent agronomic features promotes
sustainable production systems. This approach includes durable genetic disease
resistance against scab (Venturia inaequalis), powdery mildew (Podosphaera
leucotricha) and fire blight (Erwinia amylovora). Glasshouse screening of advanced
selections and traditional cultivars with a shoot inoculation test for fire blight resistance
highlighted considerable differences. We report on approaches for breeding new high
quality scab and mildew resistant and fire blight tolerant varieties including markerassisted
selection (MAS) and on promising advanced selections
