Abstract
The aim of breeding for resistance is to obtain a resistant plant which can be grown in economically valuable conditions. It must be, then, a “high quality” plant, whatever is included into this denomination. The starting point of this exercice is classically a high quality, but susceptible, genotype. Its resistance can be improved according to several techniques.
