No resistance genes identified in hazelnut to date (Frutos, 2010; Lamichane & Varvaro, 2014). Problems on selection of varieties resistant to X. arboricola pv. corylina attacks (Avanzato et al., 2009). Existence of hazelnut cultivars with a low susceptibility level to X. arboricola pv. corylina (Prunier et al., 1976); some cultivars seem to be more tolerant than others, but no real resistance has been found (Frutos, 2010).
No resistance genes identified in walnut to date (Frutos et al., 2010; Lamichane, 2014; Jiang et al., 2019). Existence of some important accessions of Walnut Juglans regia with some levels of resistance to X. arboricola pv. juglandis (Lamichhane, 2014). A polyphenol oxidase enzyme was however shown to be associated with tolerance to Brenneria rubifaciens, Brenneria nigrifluens, and X. arboricola pv. juglandis (Frutos et al., 2010; see entry below).
NA
