plant disease resistance

Gene-for-gene relationships are a widespread and very important aspect of plant disease resistance.

Plant disease resistance is the result of coevolution between the plant and pathogen.

Bacterial flagellin and plant disease resistance, published by Zipfel.

Dangl was an immunologist prior to studying Arabidopsis as a model system to study plant disease resistance.

Enza focusses on the breeding of taste, looks, yield, labor friendliness and plant disease resistance.

Ancient plant varieties and wild relatives are very important to preserve because they are the most common sources of enhanced plant disease resistance.

The use of arabidopsis has led to many breakthroughs in the advancement of knowledge of how plants manifest plant disease resistance.

Parker reviewed numerous genetic studies on plant disease resistance and failed to uncover a single example consistent with the assumptions of the Red Queen hypothesis.

Plant disease resistance protects plants from pathogens in two ways: by pre-formed mechanisms and by infection-induced responses of the immune system.

Breeding for plant disease resistance generally has involved finding suitable genetic material amongst existing stocks or in the wild, which is then incorporated into commercial varieties.

Sought-after improvements include foliage color and variegation and plant disease resistance and the ability to form large, neat clumps.

Plant disease resistance is crucial to the reliable production of food, and it provides significant reductions in agricultural use of land, water, fuel and other inputs.

TSL has research groups working on aspects of plant disease, plant disease resistance and microbial symbiosis in plants.

Some pathogen species are known to have a much greater capacity to overcome plant disease resistance than others, often because of their ability to evolve rapidly and to disperse broadly.

Using current and future knowledge of mechanisms that underpin plant disease resistance and susceptibility to attack major crop disease problems, thus reducing crop losses to disease.

Resistance genes (R-Genes) are genes in plant genomes that convey plant disease resistance against pathogens by producing R proteins.

The National Academy of Sciences said that he was considered "one of the world's greatest plant pathologists" and that "his fundamental discoveries of plant disease resistance made a lasting impact on world agriculture".

Plant breeders frequently rely on R genes to obtain useful plant disease resistance, although the durability of this resistance can vary greatly depending on the specific pathogen, pathogen effector and R gene.

Plant pathology also involves the study of pathogen identification, disease etiology, disease cycles, economic impact, plant disease epidemiology, plant disease resistance, how plant diseases affect humans and animals, pathosystem genetics, and management of plant diseases.
