Selvaraj: Building Durable Clubroot Resistance in Canola: Identification of Multiple Clubroot Resistance Genes From Brassica Napus and B. Rapa for Marker-Assisted Gene Stacking in Canola Breeding

Clubroot is a serious soil-borne disease of canola caused by the pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae. Multiple genes that can be clearly identified and stacked or rotated are required for long-term effectiveness of clubroot management toward protecting canola yield.

Hwang: Reducing Seedling Blight to Improve Stand Establishment in Hybrid Canola

Producers have noted much more severe infestations of seedling blight and root rot in canola fields. Researchers conducted both field and greenhouse studies from 2007 to 2010 to identify the organisms associated with the increased incidence of root rot in hybrid canola crops, and to determine how to optimize cultural methods to reduce the impact of seedling blight and root rot on canola seedling populations and on plant yield.
