Breeding for Nematode Resistance

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

Nematode control is complex; therefore, the prevention of an initial phytonematode infestation in pathogen-free areas is of fundamental importance. However, after the entry of the nematode into an area, it is virtually impossible to eradicate because it is a soil-dwelling organism. In this respect, the genetic resistance of plants to nematodes is considered one of the most efficient and economically feasible methods to prevent production losses. Thus, breeding for nematode resistance is essential in crop management to obtain a high yield and stable production. This chapter contains discussions related to phytopathology, genetics, and breeding that are of great importance for the development of nematode-resistant cultivars.
