Breeding for inducible resistance against pests and diseases

Heraklio, Crete, Greece (April 27-29, 2006)

Further topics to be addressed are: - Tools to study the associations of plant / pathogen/pest genotypes and phenotypes - Mechanisms involved in induced and constitutive resistance - Types of resistance important for plant breeders and possible contribution of induced resistance (IR) - Enhancing IR through biotechnology, including use of priming and inducing agents, GMOs and selectable genetic markers - Evolutionary aspects of plant resistance (aiding the development of deployment strategies for durable resistance within Integrated Crop Management = ICM)
