Abstract excerpt
Clubroot caused by the protist pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin is a major disease in Brassicaceae crops. Growing clubroot-resistant cultivars remains the most effective and practical control strategy, but diverse or emerging pathotypes can often overcome resistance genes deployed. In this study, we identified POWDERY MILDEW RESISTANT 4 (PMR4) as a potential host susceptibility factor that can be...
