A wound- and ethephon-inducible PR-10 gene subclass from apple is differentially expressed during infection with a compatible and an incompatible race of
Venturia inaequalis. Physiological and Molecular Plant Pathology 62: 3-12.
This fact is due mainly to the pressure caused by plagues such as the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus, the Oriental fruit moth Grapholita molesta, and the apple scab
Venturia inaequalis (BLANCHET et al., 2012).
Apple scab, caused by the fungus
Venturia inaequalis, is one of the most destructive diseases of apples throughout the world, causing up to 80% loss in yield without chemical intervention, which could include multiple classes of fungicides applied up to 22 times during the growing season [1].

The RS103-130 variety is not genetically modified and has a naturally strong resistance to apple scab, also known as black spot, a disease caused by the fungus
venturia inaequalis which affects both the foliage and fruit.
