Cornet RustControl
WP 1: Virulence survey and standardized inoculum production
Specific objective is to analyse the German and Polish stem rust populations and to produce homogeneous, high-quality inoculum for leaf segment and field tests.T 1.1: Virulence survey of the stem rust populations occurring in Germany and Poland and selection of specific isolatesT 1.2: Propagation of inoculum
WP 2: Leaf segment tests for identifying stem rust races and resistance genes
Specific objective is to identify new race-specific genes.T 2.1: Selection and propagation of a specific isolate assortmentT 2.2: Leaf segment tests for resistance gene identification
WP 3: Multi environmental, artificial field inoculation for adult-plant resistance
Specific objective is to test the susceptibility of widely grown cultivars and preselected resistance sources over an array of environments for their stem rust resistance.T 3.1: Delivery of cultivars, field preparation, sowing, agronomic measuresT 3.2: Inoculation and evaluating field dataT 3.3: Statistical analyses
WP 4: QTL/gene analyses of segregating populations
Specific objective is to identify/localize new race-specific genes in self-fertile rye populations.T 4.2: Constructing genetic linkage mapsT 4.3: QTL analyses and cross validation
WP 5: Case-control study of individual plants
Specific objective is to identify new race-specific genes in self-incompatible populations known to possess effective resistance genes.T 5.2: Association analyses
