- Abstract
This review on the resistance to wheat blast disease focus on the latest knowledge useful for the breeders, but also takes into account the lacks in these knowledge. To tackle this disease, it is relevant to apply a breeding strategy which has previously proven its efficacy for obtaining rice varieties with a high level of partial and durable resistance to blast. But, incomplete information is available on wheat blast resistance. Therefore, firstly, it is necessary to adjust this breeding strategy considering the worst hypothesis corresponding to every lack of knowledge. Next, the possible invalidation of every hypothesis can allow simplifying the breeding schema and its implementation. For every lack of knowledge, the practical consequences of the corresponding worst hypothesis, the study of its validity and the consequences of its possible invalidation are explained. Scientific arguments, materials and methods details are provided with the latest available references.
