Institution: Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada
Total WGRF Funding: $160,121
Co-Funders: Agriculture Development Fund
Start Date: 2013
Project Length: 3 Years
Objectives:

To identify quantitative resistance genes to blackleg, develop molecular markers for incorporation of resistant loci into elite breeding lines and to identify defence pathways and their mechanism in resistance to blackleg.
