This paper will refer to activities carried out from CIMMYT headquarters with respect to the identification and use of disease resistant germplasm. At locations where CIMMYT germplasm is evaluated in Mexico, a combination of both natural and artificial inoculations are utilized to provide adequate disease pressure for the selection process. Populations, synthetics and inbred line products are available which possess resistance to many of the important maize diseases. A key activity in the future will be to study the inheritance of these traits, and to utilize these sources of resistance in the recycling of superior lines.Collection: CIMMYT Staff Publications Collection
