Abstract

The present review includes information on distribution, symptoms, inoculation techniques, disease rating, sources of resistance, genetics of resistance, breeding approaches for resistance, and the present status of resistance breeding with respect to Sclerophthora and Peronosclerospora downy mildews and Erwinia, Cephalosporium and Fusarium stalk rots. Some suggestions highlighting research gaps pertinent to future breeding strategies are mentioned.
