  abstract = {{G}enetic control of root-knot nematodes ({RKN}s) is an essential part of an integrated pest management as the use of resistant cultivars or rootstocks constitutes an easy, inexpensive, non-polluting method of control. {T}his chapter presents the results achieved in understanding the genetic basis of coffee resistance to {M}eloidogyne spp. in {L}atin {A}merica, and in using genetic resistance in breeding programmes. {T}he context of breeding for improving coffee resistance is firstly described. {T}his is followed by an overview of works published on the identification of resistance sources among the genetic resources preserved in collections worldwide. {T}he methods of resistance evaluation are discussed, and a standardized method is proposed in order to improve the reliability of resistance evaluation trials. {T}he results obtained from studies on the genetics of resistance to {RKN}s are then given for the main species that parasitize coffee. {S}o far, only one resistance gene has been identified and mapped in the coffee genome, the gene {M}ex-1 of resistance to {M}. exigua. {T}he advent of large-scale molecular genomics will provide an access to previously inaccessible sources of genetic variation which could be exploited in breeding programmes. {S}trategies for using resistance sources are finally proposed in the context of coffee breeding.},
