The challengeThe challenge
• Evolution
– Natural genetic variation
– Survival of the fittest
– Change in allele frequency over time
• What defines “the fittest”?– With natural selection
– With artificial selection

Potato research: Fighting the blight
Irish famine fungus makes comeback through stronger strain
October 23, 1998
ITHACA, New York (CNN) -- More than 150 years after the Irish potato famine, aggressive relatives of the disastrous fungus are making themselves at home all over the world. But scientists are fighting the blight with efforts to develop new disease-resistant plants.

Resistance evolutionResistance evolution• Rate of evolution affected by:
– Pest biology and behavior
– Factors affecting pest population density (predators, parasites, host distribution)
– Frequency of resistance alleles
– Nature of resistance alleles (recessive, additive, dominant)
– Intensity of selection

Resistance ManagementResistance Management
• Developing more durable types of host plant resistance
• Deploying host plant resistance genes in ways that minimize the chance of pest evolution to overcome them

Strategies: Partial ResistanceStrategies: Partial Resistance
• “Vertical” vs. “horizontal” resistance
• Single gene vs. polygenic resistance
• Qualitative vs. quantitative resistance
• Durable resistance
• Hypersensitive response
• Antibiosis vs. antixenosis and tolerance

Strategies: High Dose + RefugeStrategies: High Dose + Refuge
• Developed by entomologists for genetically engineered Bt varieties
• Combines two elements:
– Very strong resistance gene
– Refuge - mandatory planting of a variety that does not carry the resistance gene

An Interesting CaseAn Interesting Case• Biological systems are interactive and fluid
• Changing any one component will cause other alterations
• A “simple” single gene trait may not be simple…
– Genes do not act independently of the rest of the genetic background
– Genes do not necessarily have only one function in the organism

• 100 years ago - fruits for sale were notched
• Dutch found a non-bitter type in the 1930s
• US breeders traded disease resistance for non-bitter in the 1950s

SummarySummary• Host plant resistance is an interaction
between host and pest
• Both players in the interaction have potential to evolve
• Care must be taken when selection pressure on pest populations is intense
• Appropriate strategies will depend on pest biology, host production systems, and many other factors
