Breeding for Resistance to Bacterial Diseases

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Plant Breeding for Biotic Stress Resistance

Abstract

The control of bacterial diseases in plants is difficult and usually requires the combination of several complementary management measures. In this context, genetic resistance is considered to be an effective low-cost strategy that could easily be adopted by farmers, who acquire this built-in control technology within the seeds of a resistant cultivar. To be effective, breeding for disease resistance requires deep knowledge of processes involving the interactions among the plant, the pathogen, and the environment. The development of bacterial resistant cultivars is a complex task, which comprises multidisciplinary actions involving the complexity of the plant and the diversity of the pathogen as well as an appropriate interaction with the productive chain. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the advances and perspectives of breeding plants for bacterial disease resistance in distinct pathosystems involving field and vegetable crops.
