Abstract
We present the first attempts to find molecular markers (RAPDs) in the apple genome linked to the Vf gene conferring resistance to scab. The availability of genetic markers will allow selection of individuals with resistance genes in progeny. Moreover genetic markers allow us to recognise individuals with minimal linkage drag in back-crossing experiments with wild species. The feasibility of the bulk-segregant analysis to identify linked markers has been demonstrated on several occasions (Martin et al., 1991; Giovannoni et al., 1991; Michelmore et al., 1991). In this paper we report the preliminary results proving that the method could also be applied successfully in allogamous plants.
