Developing single-spore isolates of pathotypes of Plasmodiophora brassicae

Term: 2 years, beginning in 2021
Status: Ongoing
Researcher(s): Bruce Gossen/Mary Ruth McDonald, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada
SaskCanola Investment: $60,000
Total Project Cost: $60,000
Funding Partners: n/a

Project Description

Researchers and breeders will have greater confidence that the clubroot material they are working with is actually the correct pathotype, and that a pathotype shift has not occurred part way through their research experiment and/or clubroot resistance breeding program.

Objectives

  1. Single-spore isolates of Plasmodiophora brassicae

  2. Develop techniques for whole-genome sequencing of single spores of P. brassica
