Abstract excerpt
The soilborne pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae causes clubroot on Brassica crops, a common disease in many oilseed rape growing regions. Here, we investigate genetic diversity and geographic differentiation of P. brassicae populations from different regions in Germany. We compared three regions that differ in oilseed rape cropping history, oilseed rape acreage, and incidence of clubroot. These regions were...
