Host resistance - Durability
11 important questions on Host resistance - Durability
What is considered a very important aspect in resistance breeding according to the introduction?
- Ability to decrease in the course of time.
What phenomenon occurs when resistance genes for which the pathogen has evolved virulence by losing the corresponding Avr effector are called?
- Resistance genes are called defeated R genes.
In the Dutch lists of recommended cultivars, how is the resistance score of cultivars often evident over several years?
- Initially rated as 9 or 10, eventually decline.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
What do McDonald and Linde argue regarding the evolutionary potential of a pathogen population to overcome genetic resistance in their host plant species?
- Pathogens can eventually break down resistance genes.
Which plant pathogens have been identified to fulfill the conditions that favor pathogen evolution according to McDonald and Linde?
- Plant pathogens with sexual and asexual reproduction.
Which pathogens tend to exclusively reproduce asexually and are soil-borne, as mentioned in the text?
- Meloidogyne incognita is a nematode.
- This group tends to be durably effective.
What is the definition of durability in plant resistance according to the text?
- It must remain on a large scale.
What does Table 9.9 indicate about the resistance of different cultivars to three pathogens between 1965-1979?
- Ratings are from 10 (completely resistant) to 1 (extremely susceptible).
- Arrows indicate where resistance broke down.
How is the durability of resistance judged according to the text?
- Depends on effectiveness over time and area cultivated.
What information does the highlighted text about Flexigas flax reveal regarding pest resistance?
- It illustrates importance of acreage in durability definition.
What case study in the text exemplifies the breakdown of resistance over time?
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
