Resistant classical breeding

Some traditional oils are not suitable for nutrition or are less suitable for specific technological uses (e.g., deep-frying) because of their enhanced resistance against oxidation. Therefore, their FA composition has been modified. Oils can be modified, either by classical breeding methods or, in recent years, by genetic manipulation (see Chapter 16). [Pg.218]

The most successful, in terms of application, has been herbicide resistance, where reduced utilization of herbicides has been claimed. Resistance against diseases (pests) has been one of the priorities in designing genetically modified (GM) plants. This also implies a decrease in the dependence on chemical pesticides. Genetic modification has been shown to provide an additional and less time-consuming tool, and to be a useful means of creating novel resistance, compared to classic breeding. [Pg.146]

It is important to be able to control plant diseases caused by bacteria, fungi, and viruses in an environmentally sound way,241 insofar as possible without the use of chemical pesticides. The classic method has been to breed resistant crops using genetic material from resistant wild relatives. [Pg.341]
