From among the familiar resistance genes in Hungary only the gene Bs-2 could provide sufficient protection against the aggressiveness spectrum of the bacterium species X.c.pv. vesicatoria. The first results of the resistance breeding are the spice pepper varieties Kaldom and Kalorez. In addition to the Bs-2 gene attempts are also being made at building in a gds gene into pepper, a gene creating a general defense system, a different strategy towards Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria.  application/pdfCapsicum annuumspice pepperpepperXanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoriaresistance breedingBs-2 and gds genesfolyóiratcikkOpen Accesshttps://doi.org/10.31421/IJHS/7/3-4/287International Journal of Horticultural Science3-47Int. j. hortic. sci.2676-931X
