Biotic stresses caused by pathogens and pests (e.g., potato late blight, rusts and powdery mildew of wheat and barley and rice blast) are of global importance, cause severe crop losses, and pose an important challenge to stable food production. Major scientific efforts for a century have focused on host- plant resistance or tolerance to these constraints; the work provides key lessons for the future. This presentation summarizes factors affecting the long-term success of breeding for biotic stress tolerance.
