Quantitative Disease Resistance and Quantitative Resistance Loci in Breeding
Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2010Quantitative disease resistance (QDR) has been observed within many crop plants but is not as well understood as qualitative (monogenic) disease resistance and has not been used as extensively in breeding. Mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) is a powerful tool for genetic dissection of QDR. DNA markers tightly linked to quantitative resistance loci

Drought Resistance and Wheat Breeding
Agricultural Water Management, 1983ABSTRACT Schmidt, J.W., 1983. Drought resistance and wheat breeding. Agric. Water Manage. , 7: 181–194. The breeding of wheat ( Triticum species) for drought resistance has been indirect for the most part. The most direct approach has been identifying an appropriate crop maturity that maximizes growth and the accompanying yield component ...

Breeding for Nematode Resistance
2012Nematode control is complex; therefore, the prevention of an initial phytonematode infestation in pathogen-free areas is of fundamental importance. However, after the entry of the nematode into an area, it is virtually impossible to eradicate because it is a soil-dwelling organism.

Breeding Methods for Drought Resistance
1989Drought resistant varieties were developed in many crop plants by the use of the empirical breeding approach which involves intricate biometrical designs and estimates of stability of yield performance over many locations and years. While success is on record, the method is laborious, expensive and time consuming, largely because yield is an imperfect ...

Breeding for Disease Resistance
1984In 1981, James estimated that diseases caused a worldwide loss of 540 million tons of crop production valued at 50 billion US dollars (1). Diseases were estimated to reduce potential production of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) by 9.1%, rice (Oryza sativa L.) by 8.9%, maize (corn) (Zea mays L.) by 9.4%, potato (Solarum tuberosum L.) by 21.8%, vegetable ...

Breeding for Striga Resistance
2017Striga hermonthica(L.) Kuntze, a parasitic weed, is endemic in a large part of the Guinea savanna of West and Central Africa (WCA). Strigaplants do much damage underground before the parasitic plants appear on top of the soil around the maize plant. The weed, which could cause 100% yield loss in the maize crop, has defied all control efforts at the ...

STRAWBERRY BREEDING FOR RESISTANCE TO VERTICILLIUM WILT
Acta Horticulturae, 2004Evaluation of resistance/susceptibility to Verticillium wilt of strawberry germplasm obtained during a 20 year breeding program supported by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture was made. An improved method for screening strawberry resistance to Verticillium was also set up.
