Abstract A source of immunity to apple mildew, Podosphaera leucotricha (Ell.&Ev.) Salm., derived from a Malus species, when crossed with susceptible cultivars, conferred immunity to 50% of its progeny in greenhouse and field tests. Reciprocal crosses indicated a nuclear gene. A greenhouse method for large-scale screening is described.
