▪ Abstract Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping is a highly effective approach for studying
genetically complex forms of plant disease resistance. With QTL mapping, the roles of …

Quantitative 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 …

Abstract Knowledge of the biological significance underlying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for
disease resistance is generally limited. In recent years, advances in plant-microbe …

Quantitative disease resistance (QDR) causes the reduction, but not absence, of disease,
and is a major type of disease resistance for many crop species. QDR results in a …

Quantitative resistance has gained interest in plant breeding for pathogen control in low-
input cropping systems. Although quantitative resistance frequently has only a partial effect …

Much research has been devoted to understanding the biology of plant-pathogen
interactions. The extensive genetic analysis of disease resistance in rice, coupled with the …

A thorough understanding of quantitative disease resistance (QDR) would contribute to the
design and deployment of durably resistant crop cultivars. However, the molecular …

Plant disease resistance can be seen as a process of a dual nature: both qualitative and
quantitative. The nature of non-self molecules perceived by plants has led to the depiction of …

Background Studies on host-pathogen interactions in a range of pathosystems have
revealed an array of mechanisms by which plants reduce the efficiency of pathogenesis …

Bacterial blight caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and fungal blast caused by
Magnaporthe grisea result in heavy production losses in rice, a main staple food for …
