Abstract:Downy mildew (DM) and rust are two major global sunflower (Helianthin annuus L.) diseases causing significant yield losses and reducing seed quality. Host plant resistance mediated by dominant race‐specific genes has been extensively used in sunflower production to control these diseases. However, the considerable variability of the DM and rust pathogens caused by mutation or recombination has changed the dynamics of the diseases, significantly increasing their incidence in recent years. This necessitates the … Show more
