title: Inheritance and Linkage Mapping of Eastern Filbert Blight Disease Resistance in ‘Uebov’ Hazelnut
abstract: Eastern filbert blight (EFB) is a serious fungal disease of european hazelnut ( Corylus avellana ) in North America. The causal agent is the pyrenomycete Anisogramma anomala , which is native in the eastern United States where it occasionally produces small cankers on the wild american hazelnut ( C. americana ).
