Disclaimer Regarding Disease Resistance: The term "resistance" is defined as a plant's ability to resist, not necessarily prevent disease. Resistance may be conferred by general plant health or by resistance genes. The use of resistance genes is a well documented method of conferring mildew and Bremia resistance in lettuce. The use of resistant varieties, in conjunction with proper pesticide, fertilizer, cultivation and irrigation practices, will go a long way to reducing or eliminating infection. However, various factors, such as stress and pathogen populations, often lead to a resistant plant becoming infected.
