Establishment of critical infrastructures to support the screening for blackleg resistance including fee-for-service pro

Industry access to a reliable, high-throughput phenotyping capacity is a critical component of an effective blackleg improvement effort. This program will support the development of high throughput and accurate blackleg phenotyping methods and facilities using standardised techniques, isolates, controls and well characterised testing environments. The establishment of this infrastructure will enable Australian canola breeders to accelerate and expand efforts to deploy new and durable blackleg resistance and accelerate the delivery of varieties with durable blackleg resistance (including minor APR genes) to Australian growers.
