Research Project:
IMPROVED RESISTANCE THROUGH BREEDING AND BIOTECHNOLOGY TO S. SCLEROTIORUM IN PEA AND LENTIL
Location: Grain Legume Genetics Physiology Research
Project Number: 5348-21000-024-04
Project Type:
Specific Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 02, 2005
End Date: Aug 31, 2010
Objective:
The objectives of this research are: 1) to identify sources of resistance in pea (Pisum sativum L.) to Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, the causal organism of white mold and 2) introduce resistance into pea and lentil by transferring the oxalate oxidase gene into pea and lentil via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.
Approach:
Identification of sources of resistance will be conducted in field plots in Washington. Disease development and progression within the lines being screened will be recorded and data summarized to determine the relative level of resistance to control genotypes. The oxalate oxidase gene will be cloned from barley total RNA and inserted into a twin binary vector for pea and lentil transformation via Agrobacterium tumefaciens methodology. Documents SCA with Washington State University. Formerly 5348-21000-014-09S (5/08).
