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 …

▪ Abstract The usefulness of mixtures (multiline cultivars and cultivar mixtures) for disease
management has been well demonstrated for rusts and powdery mildews of small grain …

Although plant disease epidemiology has focused on populations in which all host plants
have the same genotype, mixtures of host genotypes are more typical of natural populations …

Host plant resistance is an important tool for rice disease control and has played a key role
in sustaining rice productivity, especially in tropical Asia. Deploying resistant varieties as a …

The challenge of feeding the current and future world population is widely recognized, and
the management of plant diseases has an important role in overcoming this. This paper …

Development of resistant cultivars has been an effective method for controlling rice blast
