Abstract
An urgent need in agriculture is the development of basic food crop cultivars (varieties) that resist plant diseases. The ideal and most economical way to control plant diseases is by the use of resistant cultivars. Other control methods add to the cost of production and require operations that millions of individual plant growers in many countries have difficulty performing. There are a number of diseases that cannot be controlled economically by any method now available. Certain virus diseases of wheat and other cereals cannot be controlled satisfactorily by cultural practices or chemicals.
