Resistance to nearly all pathogens occurs abundantly in our crops. Much of the resistance exploited by breeders is of the major gene type. Polygenic resistance, although used much less, is even more abundantly available. Many types of resistance are highly elusive, the pathogen apparently adapting very easily them. Other types of resistance, the so-called durable resistance, remain effective much longer. The elusive resistance is invariably of the monogenic type and usually of the hypersensitive type directed against specialised pathogens. Race-specificity is not the cause of elusive resistance but the consequence of it. Understanding acquired resistance may open interesting approaches to control pathogens. This is even truer for molecular techniques, which already represent an enourmously wide range of possibilities. Resistance obtained through transformation is often of the quantitative type and may be durable in most cases.

- Screening techniques and sources of resistance to foliar diseases caused by major necrotrophic fungi in grain legumes (2006, background): “Aggressiveness can be an important factor in disease development and is defined as the severity of disease and its ability to invade host tissue over a given time period (Ribeiro do Vale et al., 2001).”
- Coffee resistance to the main diseases: leaf rust and coffee berry disease (2006, background): “Thus, although this type of resistance is the most frequently deployed in plant breeding, the great disadvantage is that it is often non-durable (Vale et al., 2001; Lindhout, 2002; Niks and Rubiales, 2002; Parlevliet, 2002).”
