This new project will involve phenotyping F2 population of PI 424324B based on seed assays for incidence of Phomopsis infection from a Phomopsis-inoculated field trial in order to identify new sources/genes for resistance to Phomopsis seed decay. The researcher will identify new germplasm sources/genes that impart resistance to PSD that can be used in the development of high-yielding varieties and agronomically competitive breeding lines with PSD resistance.
