Abstract
As a result, seed propagation is an effective defensive behavior against systemic pathogens. In the single population, the plants increase their population by increasing the proportion of seed propagation when the epidemic pathogen has highly infective. In mixed population, the increasing proportion of seed propagation is the optimal breeding strategy to defend against the spread of a systemic pathogen.
