Abstract
The value of resistance depends on its level and stability. The stability is determined by the genetics of host-parasite relationships and not by the genetics of resistance. Quantity as well as quality of resistance and pathogenicity genes may be important. Monogenic and polygenic resistances can be stable or unstable. Research on the backgrounds of stable forms of resistance, e. g. concerning the R-gene and the possibly corresponding gene complex, would be of importance for detection or development of such resistances. The terms uniform and differential resistance should be used with discrimination.
