“…Several procedures have been used in artificial inoculation of narcissus bulbs and disease resistance assays. Bowes (1992) evaluated breeding progeny for basal rot resistance by growing carnation bulbs in pots containing a peat/ grit compost that was infested with F. oxysporum f. sp. narcissi (Linfield and Price 1986).…”

“…Resistant cultivars 'Malvern City,' 'Rijnveld's Early Sensation,' and 'St. Keverne' proved to be good parents for use in resistance breeding (Bowes 1992). New useful cultivars were developed, and they displayed high resistance to basal rot (Bowes et al 1992;Tompsett 1986).…”

“…Modes of inheritance. Bowes (1992) and Bowes et al (1992) inoculated more than 3500 bulbs from nearly 100 crosses between commercial cultivars and observed continuous variation in basal rot resistance among progeny from those crosses. This pattern of variation suggested a polygenic mode of inheritance for basal rot resistance, and progeny inherited resistance additively from both parents.…”

Utilization of disease-resistant cultivars is considered as the most cost-effective and environmentally sound approach to managing plant diseases including diseases of florists' crops. Improving disease resistance has been a main objective in a number of florists' crop breeding programs. The commonly used breeding approach has been classic hybridization followed by progeny screening for resistance to targeted diseases. Breeding efforts over the last several decades have resulted in the development and release of numerous cultivars with resistance to major diseases in anthurium, caladium, carnation, chrysanthemum, gerbera, gladiolus, hydrangea, lily, narcissus, rose, tulip, and other florists'
