Efforts to Transfer White Rust Resistance in Brassica juncea through Transgenic Approach

摘要

Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.andCoss. is an economically important oilseed crop cultivated globally with nearly 30%contribution to the Indian oilseed economy. The Indian cultivated varieties are susceptible to fungal diseases. White blistercaused by Albugo candida (Pers.)
