MOLECULAR BREEDING STRATEGY AND CHALLENGES TOWARDS IMPROVEMENT OF DOWNY MILDEW RESISTANCE IN CAULIFLOWER (BRASSICA OLERACEA VAR. BOTRYTIS L.)

Molecular Breeding Strategy and Challenges Towards Improvement of Downy Mildew Resistance in Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis L.)

Cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var.botrytis L.) is one of the important, nutritious and healthy vegetable crops grown and consumed worldwide.But its production is constrained by several destructive fungal diseases and most importantly, downy mildew leading to severe yield and quality losses.For sustainable cauliflower production, developing resista
