Experience shows that biotic stresses occur with different levels
of intensity in nearly all agricultural areas around the world. The
occurrence of insects, weeds and diseases caused by fungi, bacteria
or viruses may not be relevant in a specific year but they usually
harm yield in most years. Global warming has shifted the paradigm
of biotic stresses in most growing areas, especially in the
tropical countries, sparking intense discussions in scientific
forums. This book was written with the idea of collecting in a
single publication the most recent advances and discoveries
concerning breeding for biotic stresses, covering all major classes
of biotic challenges to agriculture and food production.
Accordingly, it presents the state-of-the-art in plant stresses
caused by all microorganisms, weeds and insects and how to breed
for them. Complementing Plant Breeding for Abiotic Stress
Tolerance, this book was written for scientists and students
interested in learning how to breed for biotic stress scenarios,
allowing them to develop a greater understanding of the basic
mechanisms of resistance to biotic stresses and develop resistant
cultivars.
