Abstract Kiwifruit canker and brown spot are significant diseases affecting kiwis, caused by Pseudomonas syringae pathogenic variations (Pseudomonas syringae pv. Actinidiae (Psa)) and Corynesporapolytica (Corynespora cassiicola). At present, the research on canker disease and brown spot disease mainly focuses on the isolation and identification of pathogenic bacteria, drug control, resistance gene mining and functional verification. Practice has proved that breeding disease resistant varieties are an effective method to control canker disease and brown spot disease. However, most existing cultivars lack genes for canker and brown spot resistance. Wild kiwifruit resources in nature exhibit extensive genetic diversity due to prolonged natural selection,… More >
