Abstract excerpt
Aphanomyces root rot (ARR), caused by the oomycete Aphanomyces euteiches, is one of the most devastating diseases of alfalfa in the United States. Two pathogenic races of A. euteiches have been identified, with most commercial cultivars resistant to race 1. However, there are limited commercial cultivars resistant to race 2, which is the predominant race in North America. To dissect the genetic control of...
