Abstract

Virus resistance breeding in canola (Brassica napus) has fallen behind the occurrence of resistance-breaking strains of RNA viruses, such as turnip mosaic virus (TuMV), presenting an increasing canola yield loss threat under climate scenarios. This thesis presents initial results for improving TuMV resistance for canola, including the establishment of a glasshouse system for TuMV resistance evaluation and regeneration of genetically transformed plants. The TuMV inoculation system was successfully implemented on micro-propagated seedlings of Cobbler cultivar, and CasRx-transgenic plants were obtained from the regeneration protocol, indicating the potential of using CRISPR/CasRxto interfere with RNA virus infection in this crop.
