Abstract
Grain crops, like rice (Oryza sativa), maize (Zea mays), wheat (Triticum aestivum), barley (Hordeum vulgare), and — to a lesser extent — sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), oats (Avena sativa), and rye (Secale cereale) are of major importance for animal feeding and human nutrition (cf. FAO 2001). The grain yield and yield stability of these and other crops like potato and soybean are essential for ensuring human nutrition on a worldwide basis. However, in summary, yield losses of these crops due to biotic stresses are impressive. For example, Oerke et al. (1994) estimated that about 70% of the whole potential production would be lost if pests went uncontrolled and the (1992) estimated a loss of 30–40% corresponding to about US$ 300 billion/year (cf. Nelson 2001). The most cost-effective and environmentally friendly approach of avoiding such yield losses is the exploitation and use of genetic diversity of crop plants regarding reaction to major pathogens, i.e., breeding for pest and disease resistance. With respect to the mode of inheritance, race-specific “qualitative” types of resistance (monogenic resistances) have to be distinguished from non-race-specific, quantitative resistance (oligo- or polygenic resistances).
