This project investigates the resistance of Sitka spruce to Heterobasidion, a significant tree pathogen. By analyzing gene regulation and metabolite changes in spruce bark, it aims to identify resistant genotypes for breeding purposes.
Root and butt rot of conifers caused by Heterobasidion is one of the most important tree diseases in the northern hemisphere.
Despite the high impact of Heterobasidion, ability to control the disease in forests with a long history of management is very limited.
Traits associated with resistance to pathogen growth appear to be highly heritable, and could be exploited in selection and breeding programmes.
However, neither the molecular control nor the biochemical basis for this resistance is known…
