The apple cultivar from where the gene has been isolated.
The characteristics of resistance response imparted by these R genes on apple against scab infection. Class 0: no symptoms; Class 1: pit type hypersensitive response like reactions; Class 2: irregular edged chlorotic lesions with slight necrotic center with no sporulation; Class 3a: chlorotic and necrotic lesions with rare sporulation; Class 3b: prominent sporulations with chlorotic and necrotic lesions.
