Genomics to rust proof the humble oat

该项目旨在减少澳大利亚燕麦生产中具有破坏性且目前难以解决的真菌病原体冠锈病（OCR）的影响。预期的项目成果是：持久的高价值抗OCR的新来源，工具，以加速这些阻力的使用，和本地适应抗OCR燕麦种质用于开发有利可图的燕麦品种。该项目将使用新的方法来利用最近发布的基因组资源和多年来收集的独特燕麦/ OCR资源。它将导致负责任的管理广泛有效的OCR抗性放牧/碾磨/干草燕麦，增加种植者的盈利能力，减少对杀菌剂的依赖，并巩固我们的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.
