Host Resistance Committee


Annual Reports

2002   2003   2004   2009  

Proposed Sessions for APS Annual Meeting

Identification, Utilization and Genetics of Partial Resistance For the 2005 APS meeting the committee has proposed a symposium on Partial Resistance. Partial resistance may be the most effective mechanism to develop resistance that is durable by reducing the selection pressure on the pathogen population. The planned symposium will cover identification, utilization and genetics of partial resistance from several host-pathogen systems.

Current and Past APS Annual Sessions

For the 2004 APS meeting the committee sponsored a Symposium “Species Concept in Host Plant Interactions: What is its Effect on Breeding”, organized and moderated by Monte Miles. At the 2003 APS meeting the symposium was entitled “Case Studies of Durable Resistance”, organized and moderated by James Kolmer.
