Current Research 

Transcriptional Analysis of Resistance Reaction to Ascochyta Blight in Lentil at Maturity

 

The project objectives are to:

 

1. Determine the Lentil-specific gene sequences of defence related ESTs derived from Lathyrus sativus and Cicer arietinum

2. Validate the functional response of specific lentil defence genes

3. Map the interesting genes/ESTs for association with R-QTL

4. Differential response of defence-related genes among host pathogen complexes
