Research Topic
|
Study of candidate genes that confer resistance to lettuce downy mildew. |
|
Research Summary
|
Several Resistant Gene Analogs (RGAs) have been identified in the lettuce EST database and have been mapped to resistance phenotypes by other members of the lab. Post transcriptional gene silencing and other molecular techniques will be applied to determine their role in disease resistance. |
