Genetics of Host Resistance to Viruses and of Virulence

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Agricultural Biotechnology ((AABI,volume 17))

Abstract

Much early work on plant virus diseases was directed towards finding hosts which gave varied and characteristic responses to infection, as aids to identification of particular viruses. This involved the screening of a wide range of cultivars of crop species, as well as related wild species. These investigations provided examples of varied host responses, some of which were clearly resistance mechanisms, in that the effects of the virus were contained, or were much less severe in some hosts than in others. From this starting point, research aimed to incorporate useful resistance into agricultural crops, and to determine the genetic basis of the resistance.
