Thanks Jon - I had forgotten about appletesters, altho none of these varieties seem to be indexed there - 'Realka' and 'Releika' are two separate varieties out of the German program - 'Re..' = 'resistance' - they are looking at 5 different diseases, scab among them, and they have several Vf selections, Releika being one of them -
We are looking for the Vr scab resistance gene in a modern type apple - the five cultivars listed are Vr containing - we have the technology now to be able to screen and get the Vf and Vr stacked, tho it will likely take at least 2 generations to get a commercial quality apple with both.
