Breeding progress for pathogen resistance is a second major driver for yield increase in German winter wheat at contrasting N levels

Abstract Breeding has substantially increased the genetic yield potential, but fungal pathogens are still major constraints for wheat production. Therefore, breeding success for resistance and its impact on yield were analyzed on a large panel of winter wheat cultivars, representing breeding progres...
