Few studies have addressed the relationship between genetic diversity and provision of
ecosystem services in agroecosystems. In this review, we argue that the contribution of …

Owing to their evolutionary potential, plant pathogens are able to rapidly adapt to genetically
controlled plant resistance, often resulting in resistance breakdown and major epidemics in …

Epidemiology is the science of how disease develops in populations, with applications in
human, animal and plant diseases. For plant diseases, epidemiology has developed as a …

Plant viruses are an important constraint to crop production world‐wide. Rarely have plant
virologists, vector entomologists and crop specialists worked together in search of …

▪ Abstract The relationship between epidemiology and disease management is long-
standing but sometimes tenuous. It may seem self-evident that improved understanding of …

Mixtures of genotypes are the norm in natural and seminatural ecosystems and subsistence
agriculture but have been replaced by pure genotypes in modern agriculture to maximise …

Genetically-controlled plant resistance can reduce the damage caused by pathogens.
However, pathogens have the ability to evolve and overcome such resistance. This often …

There are two broad approaches to the management of disease. One is largely empirical,
driven by experience and practice. The other, which is the focus of this review, is designed …

Specific resistance loci in plants are generally very efficient in controlling development of
pathogen populations. However, because of the strong selection pressure exerted, these …

A multitude of resistance deployment strategies have been proposed to tackle the
evolutionary potential of pathogens to overcome plant resistance. In particular, many …
