Abstract excerpt
The causative organism of crown rust in ryegrasses (Puccinia coronata f.sp. lolii) is an obligate biotroph that causes significant economic losses within the temperate grazing industries of dairy, meat, and wool production. This study reports on the development, transferability, and utility of gene-associated simple sequence repeat (SSR) molecular markers for crown rust. Analysis of 1,100 expressed sequence tag...
