  1. Lower ranking values indicate lower susceptibility to canker. The three most resistant were M116 (29 overall ranking value), EMR-006 (33 overall ranking value) and EMR-004 (37 overall ranking value) highlighted in bold in the last row of the table. Data is based on the backtransformed means (Additional file 1: Tables S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, S9, S10)
