Abstract

Abstract A new root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne sp.) of peach which occurs in Florida overcomes the resistance of Okinawa and Nemaguard rootstocks (Prunus spp.). Resistance to this new nematode obtained from crosses and open-pollinated seedlings of Okinawa, Chico II, and P. davidiana has a heritability (narrow sense) of 0.31 ± .04. Two selections, Fla. 14-11 and Fla. 9-4, combine the nematode resistance of Okinawa and Nemaguard with resistance to the new nematode.
