Each year, fungal storage rots cause serious losses in the apple industry. The problem is especially prominent in production systems with little or no use of preor postharvest fungicides. Consequently, a high level of tolerance to storage rots is very desirable. A set of 81 apple cultivars were studied in two different production areas (Njøs in Norway and Balsgård in Sweden), during two seasons (2012 and 2013), to investigate genetically determined susceptibility to blue mold, Penicillium expansum. Lesion diameter, measured on symptoms developing after
