Özet
Phytoplasmas are a severe threat to agriculture in many countries causing serious yield losses in a wide range of economically important crops. They exhibit a unique life cycle compared with other plant pathogenic bacteria, which make them difficult to control. The complex tritrophic interactions between insect-plant-phytoplasma play a very important role in understanding and managing the spread of phytoplasma diseases. The current understanding for phytoplasma disease management mainly relies on prevention rather than treatment. Use of clean (disease-free) plant materials, use of techniques to cure infected materials, destruction of diseased plants, and insect vector control using insecticides had been the common management strategies. Among these strategies, the breeding of disease-resistant cultivars may provide a direct and efficient way to combat many devastating phytoplasma diseases. This chapter discusses the genetic and induced resistance mechanisms, the production of genetically engineered plants by introducing disease-resistance genes into cultivated crops, the use of resistance inducers to reduce the disease symptoms, and the current status of resistant cultivars in Asian countries particularly in India, Iran, Japan, and Turkey. © 2023 Elsevier Inc.
