The families were arranged in randomized blocks in field trials, with six resistant inbred lines used as control, in plots of five plants.

There is genetic variability for epidemiological variables and total soluble solids. Heritabilities, obtained by parent-offspring regression, were high and indicated the possibility of satisfactory genetics gains and success in the introgression of resistance alleles.
