Abstract:
Mite resistance of strawberry, Fragaria ☓ ananassa Duch, based on the ability to support low populations of the twospotted spider mite, Tetranychus urticae Koch, was assessed in the progeny of 15 crosses at two locations. The best parents were Washington State University selections 72–83M, 75-7-5 and 75-57-3 and the poorest parents were the susceptible cultivars ‘Totem’ and ‘Rainier’. General combining ability estimates for mite resistance were higher than specific combining ability estimates. Heritability estimates, based on parent/offspring regression, were high and ranged from 0.62 to 0.92. These observations suggest that additive genetic factors play a major role in the inheritance of mite resistance.
