After these tests the resistance of each cultivar can be defined from its<br />

components and characteristics and its stability can be estimated.<br />

Results until now indicate that the resistance selected possesses many HR<br />

traits (quantitative, polygenic, slowing down of epidemic), which permits some<br />

optimism as far as the stability of the resistance is concerned.<br />

Discussion<br />

H.C.Weltzien<br />

In your list of screening methods you have no method to screen for lower<br />

sporulation rates or decreased spore vitality. Is there any reason for this?<br />

R.Pieters<br />

The main reason has been the lack of time, but I think that these characteristics<br />

should be studied, because they are important factors in the development<br />

of an epiphytotic.<br />

J.B.Smithson<br />

What is the reason for including hair density among the tests for horizontal<br />

resistance?
