Apple scab, caused by the fungal pathogen Venturia inaequalis (Cke.) Wint.is the major disease affecting
apples grown in temperate climates around the world. The gene responsible for the Rvi5 (Vm) apple scab
resistance presence in the cultivar ‘Murray’ has been identified and isolated. Isolated candidate gene was
homologous to TMV resistance protein of Malus × domestica, characterized by a TIR-NBS-LRR structure
