Request a sales quoteBreeding Disease-Resistant Horticultural Crops is a complete and comprehensive resource for understanding the concept of breeding disease resistant crops, especially horticultural crops. Breeders of horticultural crops face distinct challenges that are different from agronomy/row crops, and these crops do not benefit from the vast body of literature available for agronomic crops. This book covers the basic theories that underpin breeding for disease resistance and features extensive real-world examples. Both classical and biotechnical breeding methods are covered, with an emphasis on how these methods are adapted for horticultural species.
Presented in a logical flow for the reader, this book addresses historical perspectives and context as it relates to breeding for disease resistance. It highlights treatments of resistance in the context of the phenotype, the genotype, the pathogen, the environment interaction, sources of resistance, and the deployment of resistance to obtain a durable resistance.
- Explores the definition of horticultural "resistance", how it is inherited, and how resistance can be manipulated through breeding
- Highlights the importance of the interaction among crops, pathogens, and environmental elements
- Provides the latest references and insights as a foundation for further research
Researchers in sustainable horticultural, agricultural and plant sciences and plant breeders globally working in commercial and public institutions, Upper level and graduate students in Horticulture, Agriculture and Plant Breeding Programs

Paul W. Bosland
Prof. Bosland is recognized internationally as one of the foremost experts on breeding disease resistant crops. He led the chile pepper breeding and genetics research program at New Mexico State University with the goal of releasing disease resistant chile peppers. In addition, he taught a graduate level course on Breeding for Disease Resistance for more than 3 decades. He has co-authored 8 books, 22 book chapters, and more than 100 research articles. He has received many honors and awards including named a Fellow of the American Society of Horticultural Science, the NMSU College of Agriculture and Home Economics Distinguished Researcher Award, inclusion in Who's Who in America, Wilson's Guide to Experts in Science and Technology, 2000 Outstanding Scientists of the 20th Century, and the Distinguished Award for Graduate Teaching/Achievement Gamma Sigma Delta. He was honored by the European Scientific Committee on Capsicum and Eggplant by being the first American ever selected to serve on this Committee.

Derek W. Barchenger
Dr. Barchenger is lead pepper breeder at WorldVeg, Taiwan. His program emphasizes breeding for disease resistance in tropical regions. He received the prestigious U.S. Borlaug Fellows in Food Security Fellowship, and numerous other research awards. At WorldVeg, Dr. Barchenger has implemented a Phytophthora capsici race characterization protocol to support international anticipatory breeding against this devastating pathogen. He was a Graduate Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Plant Breeding and Breeding Disease Resistance. It was at Oklahoma State University, as an undergraduate assistant in the Plant Pathology Department, that he learned to appreciate the complexity of plant diseases affecting horticultural crops. At the University of Arkansas, he evaluated blackberries, peaches, nectarines, grapes, and blueberries for improved disease resistance.
