Research Project: Rapid Differentiation of Verticillium Dahliae and Development of Host Resistance for Integrated Management of Verticillium Wilt of Lettuce

Location: Salinas, California

Project Number: 5305-22000-012-08
Project Type: Reimbursable

Start Date: Sep 01, 2007
End Date: Jul 31, 2010

Objective:
Differentiate races of the fungal pathogen, Verticillium dahliae, and develop host resistance to both races of the pathogen.

Approach:
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) will be performed using DNA from isolates of V. dahliae currently available and those collected from the field. The isolates available, and those collected, will be used to screen lettuce germplasm for resistance. Documents Trust with University of California, Davis. Log 33141. Formerly 5305-22000-009-24R (2/08).
