Popis: Modern plant production is focused on the cultivation of cultivars combining many traits such as partial or long-term resistance to the most common cereal diseases and tolerance to abiotic factors. Nowadays there is a growing interest in the return to the cultivars of old varieties and local populations (landraces), especially in organic farming. Due to their adaptability to marginal environments, higher resistance to pathogens, as well as being easily accessible as genetic resources for breeders, they can contribute to ensuring food security. Crops wild relatives and landraces are extremely valuable research material in scientific and breeding works. The aim of this paper is to summarize the issue of old cultivars, landraces and wild cereal related species as sources of stable and durable resistance to biotic stresses.
