Breeding for Resistance to Orobanche
1982Faba bean is one of the major hosts of Orobanche crenata Forsk. in Egypt. Infestation varies from a few scattered spikes to a large population almost attacking every bean plant in the field and thus limiting yield considerably. Infested bean fields occur in Egypt throughout the Nile Valley and Delta regions, Fayoom, and the oases in the western desert.

Novel genes for disease-resistance breeding
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2000Plant disease control is entering an exciting period during which transgenic plants showing improved resistance to pathogenic viruses, bacteria, fungi and insects are being developed. This review summarizes the first successful attempts to engineer fungal resistance in crops, and highlights two promising approaches.

Breeding for Fungus Resistance
2012Late blight, caused by the oomycete Phytophthora infestans, is a serious disease in potato and tomato crops throughout the world. It cuts yields by destroying leaves and rotting tubers during growth, development, and storage. Under favorable weather conditions, late blight is capable of destroying a potato crop in a matter of days.

Breeding for Resistance to Aphids
1982Most phytophagous insects attack a specific and limited group of host plants. Genuine polyphagous species, being noxious to a great number of different plants, are far less numerous. Specialization of insects to certain host plants implies a close adaptation to the specific properties of the food: (i) The insect must have mechanisms to recognise its ...

Breeding for Drought Resistance
2005Drought may be defined as a period during which soil or plant water deficiencies affect growth and yield. Such moisture deficiencies may occur through a reduction in the moisture supply or through an increase in demand. Drought is a recurrent problem of rainfed agriculture throughout the world.

Breeding for resistance to insects
1987The development of crop varieties resistant to insect pests has lagged behind the use of resistance to fungal pathogens as a control method. This can be related to the appearance of highly effective insecticides in the 1940s, and the consequent emphasis on chemical control over the subsequent 25 years, a period when fungicides of comparable efficiency ...
