Identification of molecular markers
for blackleg resistance in canola
Research Supervisors:

Research Staff:

Funding:

Duration:
1996-1999
Project Summary:
Using homozygous differentials from doubled
haploid lines of canola form various sources, develop
RAPD markers for resistance. Determine the likely
number and inheritance of resistance genes in canola
using glasshouse and field based experimentation. Two
field trials have been completed at Horsham with
field ratings being determined and used to rank varieties
in preparation for bulked segregate analysis. In
this analysis AFLPs will be used to develop markers
from the three mapping populations used. A doubled
haploid mapping population has also been developed using
the resistant European variety Amazon. |
