N.T. The Nature and Development of Resistance to Diseases of 



( State ) Canning Crop Vegetables . To (1) search for and develop any inherent 

 resistance or tolerance that may be found to major diseases of 

 canning crop vegetables; (2) study and determine factors affecting 

 disease development in susceptible host to insure sound procedure in 

 evaluation of breeding progenies from crosses with resistant lines 

 and to determine nature of resistance to expedite development of a 

 practical resistance; and (3) incorporate resistance into horti- 

 culturally desirable varieties.
