Fall 2021
Clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is an important soilborne disease of canola (oilseed rape; Brassica napus). The effective and sustainable management of clubroot requires a deeper understanding of clubroot epidemiology and improved durability of host resistance. This research aimed...

The Impact of Clubroot Resistant Canola Cultivars on Plasmodiophora brassicae Resting Spore Concentrations in the Soil
DownloadFall 2016
The soilborne pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, causal agent of clubroot of canola (Brassica napus L.), is difficult to manage due to the longevity of its resting spores, its ability to produce large amounts of inoculum, and the prohibitive costs of effective fungicides. The cropping of...

The role of auxin and indole glucosinolates in defense against clubroot infection in Brassica napus
DownloadFall 2023
Abstract Clubroot, caused by the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most damaging diseases of the Brassicaceae. Glucosinolates (GSLs) are a group of defense-related secondary metabolites in cruciferous plants that have been associated with clubroot disease. The breakdown of...

Transcriptomic responses in spring canola carrying clubroot resistance introgressed from rutabaga or “Mendel”
DownloadFall 2020
Canola provides ~15% of the total global vegetable oil supply and is an important crop contributing about $26.7 billion to Canada’s economy. Canola production has been threatened by clubroot disease caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae Woronin, which in extreme case can result complete crop...

Use of Rutabaga (Brassica napus var. napobrassica) for the Improvement of Canadian Spring Canola (Brassica napus)
DownloadSpring 2016
Spring-type oilseed Brassica napus L., commonly known as canola, has become the cornerstone of agricultural production in Western Canada, with the total acreage seeded increasing in each production year over the past two decades. However, the narrow genetic base of spring B. napus canola coupled...

Use of Turnip (Brassica rapa var. rapifera) and Rutabaga (B. napus var. napobrassica) for the Improvement of Clubroot Resistance in Spring B. napus Canola
DownloadFall 2022
Clubroot disease, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae, is one of the most serious threats to spring Brassica napus canola production in Canada. Growing of clubroot-resistant cultivars is the key to control this disease. The genetic base of the Canadian spring B. napus canola for clubroot...
