White lupin is a great alternative to soybeans as it provides grains for the food and feed industry while helping with soil fertility. Yet this crop is not widely grown, because it is susceptible to Anthracnose.
Solution
FiBL is screening seed from worldwide collections to find Anthracnose-resistant seed to help with breeding resistance. The video illustrates presents a quick procedure to identify resistant lupins.
Description
In this video, interested researchers can find an explanation on how the seed borne fungal pathogen Anthracnose affects lupin crops, and a description of FiBL’s project for screening under controlled conditions, aimed at identifying resistance to Anthracnose (Colletotrichum lupini) in seed as a basis for breeding resistance programmes.
