Abstract excerpt
Clubroot caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae is a devastating soilborne disease of the Brassicaceae worldwide. Disease management often relies on disease resistant cultivars, but their overuse has led to the break down of resistance. As such, it is important to elucidate novel gene targets for clubroot tolerance. AINTEGUMENTA-LIKE 7 (AIL7), a transcription factor in the AP2/ERF family, has been observed to...
