Host Plant Resistance Breeding

Plant Breeding, 2019
Biotic stresses are the damage to plants caused by other living organisms such as bacteria, fungi, nematodes, insects, viruses and viroids. Some of the biotic stresses that devastated the world in the past are the potato blight in Ireland, coffee rust in Brazil, maize leaf blight in the USA.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus disease of tomato and its management through resistance breeding: a review

, 2020
The whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Gennadius) transmitted Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) disease is a limiting factor in tomato production. Breeding resistance into tomatoes is one of the options to manage the disease. Among various screening techniques

Breeding for worm resistance: A perspective

International Journal for Parasitology, 1987
Abstract It has been well established that there is considerable genetic variability in resistance of domestic animals to nematode parasites. Utilization of this resource to reduce dependency on present parasite control methods will take place only if breeding for resistance is shown to be a profitable control strategy.

Breeding for Nematode Resistance

2012
Nematode 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.

Drought Resistance and Wheat Breeding

Agricultural Water Management, 1983
ABSTRACT 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 Methods for Drought Resistance

1989
Drought 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 disease-resistant sunflowers.

CABI Reviews, 2017
Abstract The main diseases of sunflower which can be controlled by major genes are downy mildew, broomrape, rust and Verticillium wilt, whereas the crop shows quantitative resistance to Sclerotinia rots and wilt, phomopsis stem canker, Phoma premature ripening and black stem and Alternaria.
