Developing single-spore isolates of pathotypes of Plasmodiophora brassicae

Project Description

Researchers and breeders will have greater confidence that the clubroot material they are working with is actually the correct pathotype, and that a pathotype shift has not occurred part way through their research experiment and/or clubroot resistance breeding program.

Objectives

  1. Single-spore isolates of Plasmodiophora brassicae
  2. Develop techniques for whole-genome sequencing of single spores of P. brassica
