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
