One hundred accessions of a “core collection” Diplotaxis tenuifolia (L.) DC. and Eruca spp. were screened at seedling stage for resistance to downy mildew. Accessions tested the assigned 0–6 interaction phenotypes. All cultivated rocket (Eruca spp.) exhibited resistant (R) response both in cotyledons young leaves.
