RESISTANCE TO BIOTIC STRESS IN FRUIT TREES
Acta Horticulturae, 2003Resistance to pests and diseases is a highly desirable objective in fruit breeding but is a long-term endeavor. It requires appropriate tests for early screening and an analysis of host-parasite interactions for durability of resistance. Host resistance is considered durable when it remains effective for a long period despite an intensive exposure to ...

Biotic resistance to plant invasions.
2020Biotic resistance to plant invasions takes many forms: consumption by native herbivores, competition with native plants and infection by native pathogens. But how often does biotic resistance prevent the damaging monocultures that typify the most problematic plant invaders, and how often is biotic resistance overwhelmed by the direct and indirect ...

Phytomelatonin: An Emerging Regulator of Plant Biotic Stress Resistance
Trends in Plant Science, 2021Melatonin has diverse functions in plant development and stress tolerance, with recent evidence showing a beneficial role in plant biotic stress tolerance. It has been hypothesized that pathogenic invasion causes the immediate generation of melatonin, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and reactive nitrogen species (RNS), with these being mutually ...

Breeding for Resistance to Biotic Stresses
2020Biotic stresses are one of the major causes of economic damage in sorghum crop. These stresses that cause sorghum crop yield losses are large and diverse and include insects, diseases, and parasitic plants. Over 150 insects have been listed as pests or potential pests of sorghum (Jotwani and Young, Recent developments on chemical control of insect ...

Breeding for Biotic Stress Resistance/Tolerance in Plants
2012The long-term goal of crop improvement for biotic stress tolerance in plants is a traditional objective of breeders. Plants must continuously defend themselves against attacks from bacteria, viruses, fungi, invertebrates, and even other plants. This chapter will therefore summarize the benefits and drawbacks of resistance versus chemical protection ...

Molecular Mechanisms for Resistance to Biotic Stresses
2020Diverse pathogens including viruses, viroids, fungi, and bacteria are responsible of diseases on Citrus. Some of them in addition represent a treath to Citrus industry in some specific areas, others are either worldwide spread or have a restricted distribution.

Trophic rewilding revives biotic resistance to shrub invasion
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2020Trophic rewilding seeks to rehabilitate degraded ecosystems by repopulating them with large animals, thereby re-establishing strong top-down interactions. Yet there are very few tests of whether such initiatives can restore ecosystem structure and functions, and on what timescales.

Biotic resistance and island susceptibility hypotheses.
2018Abstract The biotic resistance hypothesis sensu stricto is also known as the diversity-invasibility hypothesis. It proposes that ecosystems with high biodiversity are more resistant against non-native species than ecosystems with lower biodiversity.

Ecological role of transgenerational resistance against biotic threats [PDF]
Plant Signaling and Behavior, 2012 Plants in their natural environments are constantly subjected to biotic stress. In addition to possessing physical barriers and anti-nutritive toxins, plants can be primed to respond more efficiently against future attack via faster and stronger gene activation.
