Abstract

Clubroot disease is one of the most damaging diseases worldwide for Brassica crops. Researchers come together during various meetings to report on their findings to understand or combat the disease. In 2015, the Korean Society of Mycology together with the International Clubroot Working Group and the Golden Seed Project were hosts for the clubroot symposium in Daejeon, Korea. Presentations during the conference ranged from basic research, for example, the genome sequence of the clubroot pathogen Plasmodiophora brassicae, but also transcriptome and metabolome studies. Further studies on the biology of P. brassicae are essential to understand the nature of disease development and interaction with plants. Major topics discussed throughout the symposium were the generation of single-spore isolates and breeding of resistant cultivars. In addition, it was reported that biocontrol agents are worth investigating for their capability to control clubroot.
