Genetical resistance to root pathogens is a sensible strategy for disease control in a perennial crop such as sugarcane. Pachymetra root rot is a serious disease in Queensland and can cause losses of 30-40% in susceptible varieties. An understanding of the mode of inheritance of resistance is important in developing breeding strategies.
