Durable resistance or efficient disease control? Adult Plant Resistance (APR) at the heart of the dilemma by Rimbaud, Loup, Papaïx, Julien, Rey, Jean-François, Moury, Benoît, Barrett, Luke G., Thrall, Peter H.

“…On the other hand, stronger APR genes (which increase selection pressure on the pathogen) may be quickly overcome but have the potential to provide some disease protection in the short-term. This is attributed to strong competition between different pathogen genotypes and the presence of fitness costs of adaptation, especially when APR genes are deployed together with a major resistance gene via crop mixtures or rotations. …”
