Goals Environmental stress (physical and biological); forms of resistance (escape, avoidance, completely resistance, tolerance); relationships among stress, resistance and adaptation; analysis of adaptation and stability; resistance to drought, coldness, salinity and disease; types of resistance (monogenic-polygenic, horizontal-vertical, seedling-mature plant, active-passive); mechanism of resistance; inheritance of resistance; determination of resistance gene number and structure; relationships between genotype-environment and host-pathogen in breeding for resistance; methods of testing for resistance; assessment of resistance; principles of breeding for resistance; sources of resistance; methods of breeding for resistance; preservation of resistance.

Learning Outcomes 1) EXPLAINS THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF RESISTANCE TO FIELD PLANTS
2) THEORETICALLY AND APPLIED DEFINITION OF RESISTANT TYPES OF BIOTIC ENVIRONMENTAL PRESSURES (DISEASE, HARMFUL, COMPETITIVE)
3) ABIOTIC environmental pressures (HEAT, DROUGHT, COLD, DON, SALINITY, MINERAL SUBSTANCES, ETC) DESCRIBES AS PROOF RANGE IMPROVEMENT the theoretical and practical
4) EXPLAINS THE DETERMINATION AND IMPLEMENTATION OF NEW TARGETS FOR RESISTANCE BREEDING
