Aphid resistance in barley and oat (review)

Data on barley and oat genetic resources resistance to cereal aphids are presented. Virulence as well as the categories and mechanisms of plant resistance are reviewed. The opportunities to replenish effective resistance genes through plant genetic resources research, introgression and development of mutant forms are discussed. Extensive reference materials on aphid resistance inheritance in barley and oat as well as utilization of resistance sources in breeding practice are reviewed.
