Crop architecture and crop tolerance to fungal diseases and insect herbivory. Mechanisms to limit crop losses
2013-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Plant tolerance to biotic stresses (mostly limited here to fungal pathogens and insects) is the ability of a plant to maintain performance in the presence of expressed disease or insect herbivory. It differs from resistance (the capacity to eliminate or limit pests and pathogens by genetic and molecular mechanisms) and avoidance (the ability to escape infection by epidemics). The ways to tolerance of pests and dis...
