Breeding for pest and disease resistance comes as a major objective behind the fruit traits. To increase the effectiveness of fruit resistance breeding application of the Marker Assisted Selection ( MAS) is advantageous. For generating molecular markers which enable the following of interesting traits basically two methods are available: targeted marker design based on conservative region of already known Resistance ( R) gene sequences or randomly generated markers. The creation  and the application  of  these homology  based  markers  are the object of this review in  the main  temperate zone  fruit species.

Incorporation of competitive quality and resistance against the most important fungal diseases (powdery and downy mildew) in a cultivar is one of the most important aims of grapevine breeding. In the 20th century, the most advanced results in grapevine resistance breeding were achieved by French researchers. They used resistant cultivars in more than 30% of their growing areas. In these varieties, North American wild Vitisspecies were the resistance gene sources. The discovery of immunity-like resistance of Muscadinia rotundifolia opened new perspectives in resistance breeding. M. rotundifolia harbours a dominant powdery mildew gene, providing resistance in highquality cultivars after back-crosses with V. vinifera varieties. M. rotundifolia has been involved in the Hungarian grape breeding programs since 1996, thanks to a French-Hungarian variety exchange. In addition to traditional selection methods, application of MAS (Marker Assisted Selection) based on various types ofmolecular markers, can provide additional tools for these efforts. Run1 locus, responsible for powdery mildew resistance, was identified in Muscadinia rotundifolia. Molecular markers closely linked to this locus are very significant in screening progenies deriving from M. rotundifolia and V. vinifera crosses, making possible the discrimination between resistant and susceptible genotypes at DNA level. In our analyses BC5 progeny of {(M. rotundifola×V. vinifera) BC4}×Cardinal (V. vinifera) tested for powdery symptoms were analysed with PCR-RFLP (GLP1- 12P1P3) and microsatellite markers (VMC4f3.1, VMC8g9). Our results proved the applicability of the linked markers and reliability of marker assisted selection.

An explanation of the ‘boom-bust’ cycle of resistance breeding was provided by the gene-for-gene relationship between a pathogen and its host. Despite this understanding, most R genes continued to be deployed singly and resistance has been ephemeral. The reasons for breeding ‘single R gene’ varieties are discussed. Alternative strategies for the deployment of R genes and the use of quantitative race non-specific resistance have been advocated in order to obtain durable resistance. The feasibility of both of these approaches is discussed taking into account the impact of technologies such as plant transformation and marker-assisted selection. A change in focus from durability of the plant phenotype to that of the crop phenotype is advocated.

Abstract Experiments were conducted to validate different molecular markers associated with sugar beet breeding using available sugar beet monogerm germplasm resources to explore their effectiveness in different sugar beet populations. We used multiple primer pairs to amplify sugar beet monogerm sterile and maintainer lines in order to verify their polymorphism. For the nucleus Rf1 locus genotype enzyme digestion was also required to verify. The results showed that three pairs of primers, TR1, s17 and 11E8M4S, produced polymorphism when amplifying sugar beet sterile and maintainer lines; primers o7 and AB-18, although polymorphic, did not correlate significantly with sugar beet fertility; primer cpSSR-2 did not produce significant band differences when amplifying sterile and maintainer lines, however, the number of single nucleotide sequence repeats of base A needed to be further verified as a basis for differentiating sugar beet fertility. The polymorphism of 15 pairs of primers related to sugar beet fertility identification was verified and TR1, s17 and 11E8M4S could be used to differentiate sugar beet sterile lines from the maintainer lines and used for subsequent Marker-Assisted Selection (MAS).
