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…
Root imaging of diverse Brassica diploid material Development of a high-throughput image-based screen for clubroot infection Identify genetic basis of identified variation Introgress improved root architecture into canola Greenhouse and field testing of improved…
The overall goal of this study was to enhance biological control of lygus bugs in the Canadian Prairies using parasitoid wasps that attack the juvenile stages of the pest Lygus are a widespread pest of multiple crops: canola, seed alfalfa, faba beans, strawberries, greenhouse crops, and many others…
Effective management of clubroot disease in canola, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, depends
largely on the use of resistant varieties However, because host resistance can vary in effectiveness
against different clubroot pathotypes, it is essential to quickly and accurately identify which…
