Collaborative project: Analysis of temperature effects on the susceptibility of oilseed rape cultivars and genotypes to TuYV and pests (aphids) - Subproject 2 (TEMPER)

Project


Project code: 281B203016, JKI-RS-08-3409
Contract period: 15.08.2018 - 14.10.2021
Budget: 359,534 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: resistance breeding, TuYV, oilseed rape, aphids

Due to climate change and the lack of insecticidal seed dressings, oilseed rape is increasingly infected by TuYV. From an economic and ecological point of view, varieties with TuYV resistance are therefore needed. The aim of the project is to further characterise the 'R54' based TuYV resistance used so far and thereby ensure the functionality of this source of resistance to TuYV. Data on the temperature-dependent stability of resistance, vector preference, virulence and genetic variability of vector and virus, e.g. analysed by NGS, have been collected against the background of tri-trophic interaction. Developed PCR primers will allow the detection of partially resistance-breaking virus isolates and allows advice on available oilseed rape genotypes in the future. The findings form a basis for the evaluation of current and future sources of resistance, promote the cultivation of resistant varieties and thus contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
