DNA markers linked to the R 2 rust resistance gene in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) facilitate anticipatory breeding for this disease variant
2011-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Pre-emptive breeding for host disease resistance is an effective strategy for combating and managing devastating incursions of plant pathogens. Comprehensive, long-term studies have revealed that virulence to the R 2 sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) rust resistance gene in the line MC29 does not exist in the Australian rust (Puccinia helianthi) population. We report in this study the identification of molecular ma...
