Canola is an important oilseed crop, providing food, feed, and fuel around the world.
However, blackleg disease, caused by the ascomycete Leptosphaeria maculans, causes …

Brassica napus (canola/oilseed rape/rapeseed) is an economically important crop, mostly
found in temperate and sub-tropical regions, that is cultivated widely for its edible oil. Major …

In plants, race‐specific defence against microbial pathogens is facilitated by resistance (R)
genes which correspond to specific pathogen avirulence genes. This study reports the …

Plant cell surface receptors are at the forefront of defence against pathogens, involved in
pathogen sensing through the detection of conserved molecules named pathogen …

Brassica napus (oilseed rape, canola) seedling resistance to Leptosphaeria maculans, the
causal agent of blackleg (stem canker) disease, follows a gene‐for‐gene relationship. The …

The rapeseed crop (Brassica napus) has to cope with fungal diseases that significantly
impacts yields. In particular, the fungal pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans, the causal agent …

Utilising resistance (R) genes, such as LepR1, against Leptosphaeria maculans, the causal
agent of blackleg in canola (Brassica napus), could help manage the disease in the field …

Understanding temperature-sensitivity of R gene-mediated resistance against apoplastic
pathogens is important for sustainable food production in the face of global warming. Here …

Leptosphaeria maculans is the causal agent of blackleg disease in Brassica napus, leading
to substantial yield losses. Sirodesmin PL, the principal toxin produced by L. maculans, has …

Key message Quantitative resistance (QR) loci discovered through genetic and genomic
analyses are abundant in the Brassica napus genome, providing an opportunity for their …
