Pre-breeding lines combining canola quality with sclerotinia resistance, good agronomy and genomic diversity from PAK993

The Challenge

Accessing sclerotinia resistance from PAK93 is challenging, as many minor genes that contribute to resistance are undetectable using conventional mapping methods.

The Project

Deliver pre-breeding lines derived from PAK93 that combine high level of sclerotinia resistance with early flowering and desired quality seed characteristics, such as oil content, protein, glucosinolates and erucic acid, so to add genome-wide diversity and improve plant resilience.

The Results

This section will be updated upon completion of the project.

Grower Benefits

High levels of sclerotinia resistance and plant resilience will add to yield potential, economically benefitting growers.
