Quantitative disease resistance in wild Silene vulgaris to its endemic pathogen Microbotryum silenes-inflatae collection sites

<p>Details presented on the collections sites of <em>Silene vulgaris</em> seeds from natural populations, for use in the study, Quantitative Disease Resistance in wild <em>Silene vulgaris</em> to its Endemic Pathogen <em>Microbotryum silenes-inflatae</em>.  In this study the seeds were collected a mixed half and full sibling families (seeds from the same maternal plants) and used to produce plants that were then cloned by vegetative cuttings.  The infection rates of these clones, as well as of their F1 offspring, by the fungus Microbotryum silenes-inflatae are also presented.</p>
