Resistances
Resistances in varieties of our crops will be coded
(please, see our coding list on www.enzazaden.
com for explanation), unless indicated otherwise.
Varieties claiming the same level of resistance
against a specific pest or pathogen may exhibit
a different resistance response due to a different
genetic makeup of a variety.It is to be noted that if
a resistance is claimed in a plant variety it is limited
to the specified biotypes, pathotypes, races or
strains of the pest or pathogen.
If no biotypes, pathotypes, races or strains are
specified in the resistance claim for the variety,
it is because no generally accepted classification
of the cited pest by biotype, pathotype, race or
strain exists. In this case resistance is only claimed
against certain not further specified isolates of
that pathogen. New biotypes, pathotypes, races
or strains that may emerge are not covered by the
original resistance claim.
Immunity: not subject to attack or infection by a
specified pest or pathogen
Resistance: the ability of a plant variety to restrict
the growth and development of a specified pest
or pathogen and/or the damage they cause when
compared to susceptible plant varieties under
similar environmental conditions and pest or
pathogen pressure. Resistant varieties may exhibit
some disease symptoms or damage under heavy
pest or pathogen pressure.
Two levels of resistance are defined:
• High resistance (HR): plant varieties that
highly restrict the growth and development
of the specified pest or pathogen under
normal pest or pathogen pressure when
compared to susceptible varieties.
These plant varieties may, however, exhibit
some symptoms or damage under heavy pest
or pathogen pressure.
• Intermediate resistance (IR): plant varieties
that restrict the growth and development
of the specified pest or pathogen, but may
exhibit a greater range of symptoms or
damage compared to highly resistant varieties.
Intermediate resistant plant varieties will still
show less severe symptoms or damage than
susceptible plant varieties when grown under
similar environmental conditions and/or pest
or pathogen pressure.
Susceptibility: the inability of a plant variety to
restrict the growth and development of a specified
pest or pathogen.
Tolerance: the ability of a plant variety to endure
abiotic stress without serious consequences
for growth, appearance and yield. Vegetable
companies will continue to use tolerance for
abiotic stress.
