RenSeq and whole genome sequencing uncover allelic diversity of clubroot resistance genes in commercial breeding canola lines

Clubroot disease, caused by the obligate biotrophic pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a major threat to canola (Brassica napus) production worldwide.

Clubroot disease, caused by the obligate biotrophic pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae, is a major threat to canola (Brassica napus) production worldwide. Clubroot-resistant (CR) cultivars remain the most effective disease-management strategy, but the genetic basis of resistance…
