This document summarizes a technical session on pyramiding scab and mildew resistance genes in apple breeding at Agroscope. The objective is to cross parent lines with different resistance genes to combine two or more genes against the same pathogen. Two crosses were made between parent lines containing different resistance genes for apple scab (Rvi6 and Rvi2) and powdery mildew (Pl2). SNP markers were used to analyze the crosses and determine which resistance genes were passed to the progeny. The document demonstrates using Excel to interpret the results of the marker analysis and determine which resistance genes were combined in the progeny for future disease resistance.
