Fifty publications on the mapping of maize disease resistance loci were synthesized. These
papers reported the locations of 437 quantitative trait loci (QTL) for disease (dQTL), 17 …

The breakdown of plant resistance by pathogen populations is a limit to the genetic control
of crop disease. Polygenic resistance is postulated as a durable alternative to defeated …

Leaf spot disease caused by Cercospora beticola Sacc. is the most destructive foliar
pathogen of sugarbeet worldwide. In addition to reducing yield and quality of sugarbeet, the …

Ralstonia solanacearum is one of the most devastating bacterial plant pathogens due to its
large host range, worldwide geographic distribution and persistence in fields. This soilborne …

Genetically controlled resistance provides plant breeders with an efficient means of
controlling plant disease, but this approach has been constrained by practical difficulties …
