Quantitative Resistance to Plant Pathogens in Pyramiding Strategies for Durable Crop Protection

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 and is difficult to select, it is considered more durable than major resistance (R) genes. With the exponential deve...
