Research Objective

Project Description

To examine PSbMV adaptation to important legumes of Saskatchewan upon repeated infection cycles; to determine the mechanisms and durability of resistance against PSbMV exhibited by legumes grown in Saskatchewan; to evaluate the disease severity caused by PSbMV lineages in pea and understand the pea defence response against PSbMV; to design efficient tools for the detection/prediction of severe PSbMV variants in the legumes of the Prairies; to develop a PSbMV based viral vector for studies of legume seeds and to express components of the CRISPR-Cas9 system.
