Abstract

Utilization of disease-resistant cultivars is considered as the most cost-effective and environmentally sound approach to managing plant diseases including diseases of florists’ crops. Improving disease resistance has been a main objective in a number of florists’ crop breeding programs. The commonly used breeding approach has been classic hybridization followed by progeny screening for resistance to targeted diseases. Breeding efforts over the last several decades have resulted in the development and release of numerous cultivars with resistance to major diseases in anthurium, caladium, carnation, chrysanthemum, gerbera, gladiolus, hydrangea, lily, narcissus, rose, tulip, and other florists’ crops. Considerable advances have been made to develop reliable disease resistance screening techniques, identify sources of genetic resistance, and understand the mode of inheritance for at least 24 disease resistance traits in these crops. At least six resistance gene loci in carnation, gerbera, and roses and up to 50 resistance QTL in carnation, gerbera, lily, rose, and tulip have been tagged with molecular markers. One disease-resistant carnation cultivar (“Karen Rouge”) has been developed with the aid of molecular markers. The rose gene Rdr1 conferring complete resistance to black spot disease has been cloned. It is expected that the availability of more molecular markers, the cloning of more resistance genes and QTL, the application of gene editing techniques, and adoption of other new biotechnological tools will increase the efficiency of breeding for disease resistance and allow the development of more cultivars with strong resistance to major diseases in florists’ crops.
