The new suite of GRDC-CIMMYT alliance project continues since July 2009 for the Identification and utilization of novel sources of resistance against Soil Borne Pathogens – SBPs (Crown Rot and Root Lesion Nematode).
The two key objectives of this project are;
- The identification of multiple disease resistant germplasm against a range of SBPs in Australia and Overseas.
- The provision of advanced lines to Australian breeders emphasising useful sources of resistance for key root diseases in high yielding Australian and CIMMYT backgrounds.for specific SBP resistances.
