Abstract

The article offers an overview of genetic rust resistance in crop plants, focusing on race-specific resistance, non-race-specific, and nonhost resistance mechanisms. Topics include the importance of durable resistant crop cultivars in safeguarding global agriculture and food production, deployment strategies for minimising the likelihood of pathogen virulence evolution, and development of resistance gene pyramids.
