Project Overview
To develop ‘marker tool kit’ for wilt resistance breeding in castor. To establish gene diversity for wilt resistance in castor and develop gene specific near isogenic lines. To validate/detect novel QTLs associated with resistance to gray mold in castor. To detect QTLs associated with resistance to reniform nematode in castor
