All agricultural crops are severely damaged when not protected against pathogens. A comparison of different means of protection shown that the application of resistance is highly preferable. The great economic importance of this cost-effective and biological safe mean of protection is obvious in all types and areas of plant production. During the last ten years in Plant Genetics and Pathology Department of Vietnam Agricultural Science Institute have done different researches on genetic diversity of pathogens and genetic diversity of breeding materials. A numerous resistance varieties were successfully selected and were expanded in large scale in production, such as bacterial wilt resistance groundnut variety MD7, pest resistance groundnut variety NC2, rust and powdery mildew resistance soybean variety DT2000. Research on genetic diversity and breeding for resistance by using modern molecular biotechnology methods and also research on sustainable agriculture will give high priority in the next 5 years.
