| Abstract | Plants and pathogens interact in complex ways, with the outcome of this interaction being determined by various factors including their genetics, resident microbiome, and, most crucially, the environment. Variability in plant growing environments, including changes in temperature, have been linked to severe local outbreaks for various pathogens. The most effective way to control plant diseases is the use of disease-resistant cultivars. While current breeding programs evaluate disease resistant c |
