Summary

One of the control strategies of fungal crop diseases is planting highly resistant varieties. However selection pressure on the pathogen, imposed by major resistance genes, leads to the development of new virulent races. In most cases breakdown of resistance has been reported for crop-pathogen systems with a genetically uniform crop distributed over large areas [2]. Des choix stratégiques en matière de construction et de déploiement de génotypes résistants combinant des gènes de résistance se pose aujourd’hui de manière aigüe afin de tendre vers une agriculture à résistance durable. To reach this objective, we start a study that combined population modeling with genetics to (1) identify keys traits of life of the pathogen involved in resistance breakdown (2) simulate virulence spreading regarding spatial host distribution.
