Key message This review provides a comprehensive atlas of QTLs, genes, and alleles
conferring resistance to 28 important diseases in all major soybean production regions in …

Plant diseases are responsible for substantial crop losses each year and pose a threat to
global food security and agricultural sustainability. Improving crop resistance to pathogens …

Variety mixtures can provide a range of benefits for both the crop and the environment. Their
utility for the suppression of pathogens, especially in small grain crops, is well established …

Plant diseases reduce crop yields and threaten global food security, making the selection of
disease-resistant cultivars a major goal of crop breeding. Broad-spectrum resistance (BSR) …

Durum wheat landraces have huge potential for the identification of genetic factors valuable
for improving resistance to biotic stresses. Tunisia is known as a hot spot for Septoria tritici …

Quantitative resistance has gained interest in plant breeding for pathogen control in low-
input cropping systems. Although quantitative resistance frequently has only a partial effect …

Viruses cause epidemics on all major cultures of agronomic importance, representing a
serious threat to global food security. As strict intracellular pathogens, they cannot be …

Crop plants are subjected to a variety of stresses during their lifecycle, including abiotic
stress factors such as salinity and biotic stress factors such as pathogens. Plants have …

Durable disease resistance is a key component of global food security, and combining
resistance genes into “pyramids” is an important way to increase durability of resistance. The …

Crop diseases cause enormous yield losses and threaten global food security. The use of
highly resistant cultivars can effectively control plant diseases, but in crops, genetic immunity …
