了解油菜科抗病基因的进化。泛基因组代表了物种的多样性，包括结构和序列变异，这不能单独由参考基因组提供。在这个项目中，我们将研究整个菊科泛基因组的抗性基因多样性。通过与栽培芸苔属植物抗病基因多样性的比较，我们将了解野生物种抗病基因进化的选择基础以及随后的驯化和育种。了解变异如何影响疾病易感性，特别是对毁灭性真菌病原体黑胫病的易感性，并有助于表型变异，将有助于改进植物保护策略，提高作物的适应能力。

Understanding disease resistance gene evolution across the Brassicaceae. Pan genomes represent the diversity of a species, including structural and sequence variation, which cannot be provided by a reference genome alone. In this project we will characterise resistance gene diversity across the Brassicaceae pan genomes. Through comparison with resistance gene diversity in cultivated Brassica species we will understand selection underlying resistance gene evolution in wild species and subsequent domestication and breeding. Knowledge on how variation affects disease susceptibility, especially to the devastating fungal pathogen blackleg, and contributes to phenotypic variation, will lead to improved plant protection strategies and increased crop resilience.
