مكافحة الأمراض الفطرية على النباتات باستخدام التقانات النووية

الملخص EN

One of the major constraints of plant crop production is protecting the foliage from phytopathogenic fungi.

Effective management of fungal diseases can not be achieved through the use of chemicals and resistant rootstocks due to potential risk of resistance breakdown.

The implementation of alternative methods for fungal pathogens control remain to be urgently sought.

Mutation-based breeding technology can be a potential strategy and an alternative environment-friendly approach to prevent or at least decreases fungal disease intensity.

Mutation induction techniques have been continued to develop new plant varieties of important economical crops with resistance to destructive phytopathogenic fungi, i.e.

blast, downy mildew, fusarium wilt, and rusts.

Mutation-derived varieties can be a major component of the environmentally sustainable agriculture.

Future research on induced mutations in other major crop to dangerous fungi would also be important in durable pathogen management.
