Abstract Armillaria and Desarmillaria spp. are causal agents of a devastating root-borne disease peach. Breeding resistant rootstock requires reliable screening tool. An in vitro co-culture screen designed for almond was modified by replacing agar-gelled medium with more aerated phenolic foam combining susceptible rootstocks ( i.e. , common garden experiment) minimizes variation inoculum pressu...
