Abstract EN
US wheat varieties are examined for differential disease resistance between public and private varieties, an issue for critics of plant intellectual property.
Analysis using disease resistance rankings of wheat varieties from Kansas and Texas indicate that private varieties are as or more resistant.
This finding was further confirmed with two years of Texas data.
Thus, the results from the study reject the criticism of private breeding activities that they are more susceptible to disease compared to public varieties.
However, private varieties resistance is incorporated from public offerings so that productive private wheat breeding is partly derivative.
