Breakdown of resistance to the fungal disease, blackleg, is averted in commercial canola (Brassica napus) crops in Australia
2014-09-01
Abstract excerpt
The fungus Leptosphaeria maculans causes blackleg disease of canola (Brassica napus). This fungus has a high evolutionary potential, and extensive sowing of a cultivar in a region can lead to blackleg resistance bred into the cultivar becoming ineffective within 3 years. Monitoring of disease severity and virulence of fungal populations across canola-growing regions of Australia in 2011 revealed a high risk of bre...
