Abstract
Populations of plant pathogens change rapidly through the selective increase of those isolates capable of overcoming the resistance genes in commercial cultivars. Durable disease control is needed to avoid disruptions in food supply. The task of obtaining durable resistance must blend a breeding component of finding and combining genetic mechanisms and an epidemiological design of cultivar management.
