Identification and mapping of clubroot resistance genes in Brassica and development of SNP markers
Read MoreDeveloping near-isogenic brassica napus lines for differentiating pathotypes of plasmodiophora brassicae
Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, poses a serious threat to canola production in western Canada Several research groups have classified P brassicae into various pathotypes based on differential reactions on Brassica cultivars However, most of the differential cultivars used by…Read More
Developing canola germplasms with multiple resistance mechanisms for durable clubroot control
Cultivar resistance is considered the most effective and practical approach for clubroot management However, current resistant canola cultivars, available in Canada since 2009, were based on a single clubroot resistance (CR) gene In 2013, some fields in Alberta with a resistant canola cultivar…Read More
Enhancing the durability of clubroot with multiple genes
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae (Pb), continues to spread on the Canadian prairies, posing a serious threat to canola production Cultivar resistance is the key to clubroot management, but the 17 “new” pathotypes identified recently in Alberta all appeared virulent to current…Read More
