The pathogenicity ofPhytophthora cambivorato Mission almond seedlings was confirmed by twig inoculationin situ.An excised twig assay using four isolates ofP. cambivorashowed almond cvs Mission and Chellaston to be susceptible, whereas peach cv. Nemaguard, which is commonly used as a rootstock for almond, was resistant.P. cambivoraisolates 179 and 108, the most and least aggressive, respectively, were selected for further studies. The excised twig assay was modified for screening micropropagated shootsin vitrofor response toP. cambivora.Defoliated shoots were placed upright in agar medium colonized with the fungus, and development of necrosis was assessed over a period of 2‐3 days. Shoots of Chellaston developed extensive necrosis and those of Nemaguard developed little necrosis, whereas shoots of hybrid selections from peach x almond crosses were generally intermediate in response. This method permits rapid and efficient screening of large amounts of material, and would be a useful adjunct to conventional almond breeding programme
