Seeds, Rootstocks & BreedingDoes resistance to one mango anthracnose isolate establish resistance to every anthracnose pathogen?
It establishes a response to the identified isolate under the test conditions. Anthracnose research specifies the pathogen used because a general disease name can cover more than one biological challenge. Seek additional relevant testing before making a broad resistance claim. For breeding, a promising result identifies material to investigate rather than removing the need to characterize local disease exposure.
