Zusammenfassung: | Development of apple (
Malus domestica
) cultivars resistant to fire blight, a devastating bacterial disease caused by
Erwinia amylovora,
is a priority for apple breeding programs. Towards this goal, the inactivation of members of the
HIPM
and
DIPM
gene families with a role in fire blight susceptibility (
S
genes) can help achieve sustainable tolerance. We have investigated the genomic diversity of
HIPM
and
DIPM
genes in
Malus
germplasm collections and used a candidate gene-based association mapping approach to identify SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) with significant associations to fire blight susceptibility. A total of 87 unique SNP variants were identified in
HIPM
and
DIPM
genes across 93
Malus
accessions. Thirty SNPs showed significant associations (
