Description
Julie Noah and six co-authors test whether a crop fungus can adapt to a plant it normally cannot infect in a 2024 paper. The fungus causes stem canker in oilseed rape, while a close cousin plant resists it strongly in France. Field trials and lab tests confirm that cousin as a true nonhost for now.
Rare fungal strains with mild adaptation were found on a related plant in fields. Crossing one such strain with a normal strain bred offspring even better adapted to the resistant plant. The trait rests on many genes, the cross showed. The new strains will help reveal how such adaptation works and why the plant resists.
