Pyramiding of partial disease resistance genes has a predictable, but diminishing, benefit to efficacy
2015-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Partial resistance genes often need to be ‘pyramided’ into a crop cultivar to obtain commercially acceptable levels of disease resistance. Analysis of data from four different wheat mapping populations, segregating for partial resistance to four contrasting foliar pathogens, showed a diminishing benefit to disease control from increasing the numbers of resistance loci in wheat lines. To test whether a general func...
