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 …

Rice blast is one of the most widespread and destructive plant diseases worldwide.
Breeders have used disease resistance (R) genes that mediate fungal race‐specific 'gene …

The emergence and re-emergence of plant pathogenic microorganisms are processes that
imply perturbations in both host and pathogen ecological niches. Global change is largely …

Aggressiveness, the quantitative component of pathogenicity, and its role in the adaptation
of plant pathogens are still insufficiently investigated. Using mainly examples of biotrophic …

Rice is a staple and most important security food crop consumed by almost half of the
world's population. More rice production is needed due to the rapid population growth in the …

Parametric and nonparametric methods have been developed for purposes of predicting
phenotypes. These methods are based on retrospective analyses of empirical data …

A full-sibling F1 population comprising 153 individuals from the cross of
'Regent'×'Lemberger'was employed to construct a genetic map based on 429 molecular …

The aim of this study was the improvement of a genetic map of the F 1 population from the
cross between the fungus-resistant grapevine cv.“Regent” and the susceptible …

Direct seeding of rice is increasingly being practiced in both rainfed and irrigated areas
because of labor shortage for transplanting and opportunities for crop intensification …

Even though marker-assisted selection now plays a prominent role in the field of plant
breeding, examples of successful, practical outcomes are rare. It is clear that DNA markers …
