Clubroot Detection

Efficient disease management starts with a reliable and sensitive diagnostic method to stop the spreading of the pathogen and its economic losses.

Clubroot resistance canola cultivars development in Canada

We have mentioned before that developing the clubroot resistance (CR) canola cultivar is one of the best management strategies. Canola growers in Canada rely on different genetic resistance resources to ensure the yield under pressure from emergence of novel pathotyoes of clubroot pathogen. Since the first CR canola cultivar has been introduced in Canada, there are more than 60 cultivars by different seed companies as of 2023. In this post, we are going to explore the history of different generations CR cultivars.

Canola transformation research note

Growth conditions Humidity:50-60%; temperature: 22 °C; light cycle: 16h light, 8h dark; light condition: Regular

How Renseq technology will save canola from clubroot

Resistance gene enrichment sequencing (RenSeq) is an NLR gene-targeted, enrichment and sequencing method that allows us to discover and annotate the full complement of genes that encode NLR genes (Steuernagel et al. 2016).

Plant innate immunity system

It is well known that the plant relies on an interconnected two-layered innate immunity system to protect the plant from pathogens.
