Exploiting susceptibility genes in canola to improve blackleg resistance
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…Read More
Develop and assess the different strategies to reduce the impact of pollen beetle Brassicogethes viridescens (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae), a new invasive insect pest on canola
