Susceptibility of selected cherry clones and related species to Western X-disease
HortScience 26 (12), 1510-1511
Abstract: Prunus species, advanced rootstock selections, and named cherry cultivars and rootstock were bud-inoculated with the Western X-disease mycoplasma-like organism (X-MLO) and evaluated for host responses. Most accessions inoculated were susceptible to the X-MLO. Individuals from the species P. mahaleb L., P. maackii Rupr., P. serotina J.F. Ehrh., P. serrulata Lindl., and P. subhirtella Miq. did not become infected with the X-MLO despite being grafted on infected rootstock.
