Abstract
An in vitro bioassay was developed to screen hybrid poplars (Populus spp.) for resistance to leaf spot caused by Septoria musiva. Leaf disks of clones inoculated with conidias of S. musiva displayed disease resistance similar to that found in field trials. This method shortens the time needed for evaluating the relative disease resistance of poplar clones.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
