Resistance
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. Full explanation
