Lead Researcher (PI): Gary Peng
Institution:
Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada
Total WGRF Funding:
$149,125
Co-Funders:
Alberta Canola Producers Commission, Manitoba Canola Growers Association, Saskatchewan Canola Development Commission
Start Date:
2023
Project Length:
3 Years
Objectives:
Assess blackleg resistance in available germplasm, identify candidate susceptibility (S) genes conferring blackleg resistance and develop markers, and generate stable S gene knock-out canola lines and evaluate their resistance reaction and develop homozygous pre-breeding lines
