Advances in Plant Breeding - From Techniques to Stress Tolerance, Murat Aycan, Editör, IntechOpen, London, ss.1-38, 2025
Plants are affected by a wide range of biotic stressors, including nematodes, insects, viroids, viruses, and bacteria, which are among the most damaging pathogens and pests. These causes can lead to significant yield losses, reduced fruit quality, weakened plant vigor, and, in severe cases, plant death. To control these threats, a variety of control methods have been developed. Among these, the breeding of resistant cultivars stands out as one of the most sustainable and effective strategies. Plant breeding plays a vital role in enhancing resistance to key biotic stresses and improving long-term crop productivity and resistance. This chapter presents a comprehensive overview of plant breeding approaches for tolerance to major biotic stressors, with a particular focus on nematodes, diseases, and insect pests, and discusses recent advances and challenges in developing resistant plant varieties.
