Abstract:
... Although human-imposed selection is known to have altered plant traits during crop domestication, the effect of selection on host susceptibility or resistance is not well understood. Moreover, the domestication of perennial tree fruit crops, unlike annual crops, was driven by hybridization, clonal propagation, and selection of desirable phenotypes, which could confound the accurate assessment of d ...
