Breeding for disease resistance

Among the most important characters to consider in crop breeding programmes, is resistance to pathogens and pests. There is strong consensus, that growing genetically resistant cultivars is the most appropiate and cost of resistance are free. One of the important concerns of resistance breeders is the specificity and durability of the resistance incorporated in their cultivars. Strategies for identification and utilisation of durable sources of resistance will be critically discussed, with special focus on ceral and legume crops.
