Start Date:

Project Length:
3 Years
Objectives:
To generate DNA markers from the genome of Leptosphaeria maculans the causal agent of blackleg disease of canola. To identify markers for known avirulence gene and to tag other potential avirulence/virulence genes inferred from the Leptosphaeria genome sequence.
