Genomics to rust proof the humble oat

该项目旨在减少破坏性和目前难以处理的真菌病原体冠锈病（OCR）对澳大利亚燕麦生产的影响。预期的项目成果是：抗OCR持久高价值抗性的新来源，加速使用这些抗性的工具，以及适合当地的抗OCR燕麦种质资源，用于开发有利可图的燕麦品种。该项目将使用新的方法来挖掘最近发布的基因组资源和多年来积累的独特的燕麦/ OCR资源。这将导致对放牧/碾磨/干草燕麦中广泛有效的OCR抗性进行负责任的管理，提高种植者的盈利能力，减少对杀菌剂的依赖，并支持我们出口燕麦市场的计划增长。

This project aims to reduce the impact of the damaging and currently intractable fungal pathogen crown rust (OCR) in Australian oat production. The expected project outcomes are: new sources of enduring high value resistance to OCR, tools to accelerate the use of these resistances, and locally adapted OCR resistant oat germplasm for use in developing profitable oat varieties. The project will use new approaches to tap very recently released genomic resources and unique oat/ OCR resources assembled over many years. It will lead to responsible stewardship of broadly effective OCR resistance in grazing/milling/hay oats, increasing grower profitability, reducing reliance on fungicides, and underpinning planned growth in our export oat market.
