Abstract

Genetic resistance to viruses and/or their vectors is the most practical and efficient method of disease control. Therefore, significant research effort has been devoted to this field. In fact, great achievements in breeding plants for virus resistance have been made using classical and molecular breeding approaches. The biggest obstacle for these breeding programs is to identify and incorporate, on a large scale, multiple resistance factors in elite genetic materials and anticipate potential problems with emerging viral diseases in association with the challenges that climate change is bringing to food production. The development of dense genetic maps, with molecular markers in strong linkage disequilibrium with virus resistance alleles, has enabled the establishment of marker-assisted selection of superior genotypes and the isolation and cloning of many virus resistance genes. Such studies have been facilitated in some of the species for which complete genome sequences are now available. Moreover, the knowledge about viral genes and genomes has been used in the development of resistant transgenic plants and they have been effective in different pathosystems; paving the way towards a new collection of anti-viral biotech breeding strategies.
