Company has stacked the genes into one canola variety, which it hopes to commercialize in the next few years
Genomics company NRGene, based in Saskatoon, has discovered new genes with durable resistance to clubroot. NRGene Canada, which opened its new genotyping lab in Saskatoon last year, has identified what it believes will provide “durable” resistance to clubroot, a soil-borne disease of canola. “The farmers are frustrated because there are not so many options available… […] Read moreTag Archives clubroot resistant
One, clear winner in clubroot resistant canola
Researchers found some varieties did well at 10 to 20 percent disease, however some of the genetics performed poorly
In a survey of canola varieties with second-generation clubroot resistance, researchers found most of these cultivars developed moderate to high disease severity in response to at least some of the resistance-breaking clubroot pathogens they collected. However, one of the canola varieties tested was resistant to just about all common clubroot pathotypes on the Prairies. Last […] Read more
