Fungal Resistance in Plants | Genetics

In this article we will discuss about the fungal resistance in plants. Several agricultural crops are severly damaged by fungal infections, which result in dra­matic yield loss. The spread of fungal disease can be combated by conventional strategies like breeding for resistance by variation of the cultural practice and by fungicide treatment. How­ever, a promising alternation that has emerged recently [...]
