Resistance Breeding and Exploitation of Wild Relatives for New Resistance Sources

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Emerging Trends in Plant Pathology

Abstract

Increasing yield from same piece of land and resources has now become more imperative since the share of resources is decreasing continuously due to increasing population. Change in environmental parameters are confronting with plants by changing dynamics as well as emergence of novel parasites. Resistance breeding though has been the traditional objective of plant breeding programme. With changing scenario, effective and diverse-resistant sources, particularly from wild relatives and from other sources, seem to be essential for durability of the resistance. Furthermore, precise tools are required for identification and transfer of genes for developing resistant genotypes. This chapter includes description of necessity of resistance breeding, types of resistance, breeding tools used in development of resistant genotypes and wild relatives that can be used as potential sources of resistant genes.
