This review briefly addresses what has been learned about resistance durability in recent
years, as well as the questions that still remain. Molecular analyses of major gene …

The use of partially resistant cultivars should become an essential component of a
sustainable management strategy of potato late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans. It …

Rust caused by Uromyces viciae-fabae is a major biotic constraint to field pea (Pisum
sativum L.) cultivation worldwide. Deployment of host-pathogen interaction and resistant …

A web-based decision support system (DSS) for potato and tomato late blight management
has been developed which links several models into a system that enables prediction of …

Potato late blight may be controlled by several approaches including host resistance.
Unfortunately, efforts to date to use host resistance have led to limited successes and many …

Resistance and susceptibility are closely related terms but differ in their underlying
assumptions and measurement. Standardized methods for determining the level of …

Publisher Summary This chapter concentrates on their application to breeding new cultivars
that will be required for sustainable increases in potato production during a period of …

Biotic constraints cause major crop losses and, hence, food insecurity in sub-Saharan Africa.
This study documented the popularity, production constraints, pests and diseases, farmers' …

Genotype x environment interaction (GEI) of 42 rice genotypes tested over nine seasons
was analyzed to identify stable resistance to blast disease incited by Magnaporthe oryzae …

There has been a significant advancement in the application of statistical tools in plant
pathology during the past four decades. These tools include multivariate analysis of disease …
