Genetic resistance occurs when genetically variable populations contain some individuals that are relatively tolerant of an exposure to some environmental factor, such as the presence of a high concentration of a specific chemical.

Genetic resistance is the most effective, economically safe, and environmentally sustainable approach of controlling wheat rusts. For ensuring effective management of wheat rusts, numerous sources (genes) of rust resistance have been identified in global wheat cultivars or wheat relative species and utilized in the development of rust-resistant ...

Genetic resistance (also called host resistance or cultivar resistance) occurs when some genotypes possess heritable resistance to a particular pathogen whereas other genotypes in the same gene pool, generally at the species level, are susceptible.

Genetic resistance, also referred to as host or cultivar resistance, is determined by a specific genotype in the resistant host variety, relative to other varieties possessing distinct genotypes that confer susceptibility.

Individuals may inherit certain genes or gene combinations that make them unusually susceptible to specific infectious or noninfectious diseases. In genetic terms, alleles, or alternative forms of the same gene, are the basis of variations in genetic resistance to diseases whether these variations are controlled by single or multiple loci.

2021年10月18日 · The genetic mechanisms of protection against severe infectious outcomes and those underlying resistance to infection itself are both subject to positive selection, as they provide a survival ...

6 天之前 · Antibiotic resistance is a global public health crisis responsible for more than a million deaths annually. By 2050, the World Health Organization estimates it could surpass cancer and heart ...

2023年12月20日 · Distinguishing genetic resistance involves analyzing the genetic makeup of individuals and identifying specific genotypes associated with resistance. This can be done through various techniques such as genetic sequencing and DNA analysis.

Historically, this pressure has resulted in the selection of a wide range of genetic variants that confer protection against malaria-specific death. This review aims to outline some of the more important protective genetic variants that have been identified so far, as summarized in the Table 1.

2020年11月23日 · Here I review how the two key parameters of viral disease are countered by fundamentally different genetic mechanisms for resistance: (1) virus transmission, countered primarily by activation of innate and adaptive immune responses; and (2) pathology, countered primarily by tolerance checkpoints to limit innate and adaptive immune responses.
