Genomic and bioinformatic platforms The CucCAP team is building upon the Cucurbit Genomics Database website. This website serves as the basis for development and dissemination of genomic tool kits for accelerated cucurbit crop improvement including: sequencing and bioinformatic platforms for GBS; sequence data processing and analysis; gene mapping and identification of QTL. It also provides […]
Grumet et al.
R. Grumet is the lead PI for the USDA-SCRI CucCAP project: CucCAP: Leveraging applied genomics to increase disease resistance in cucurbit crops. The primary objectives of the CucCAP project are to develop genomic and bioinformatic breeding tool kits for accelerated crop improvement across the Cucurbitaceae; use these tools to facilitate introgression of disease resistance into commercially valuable cucurbit cultivars; and provide readily accessible information to facilitate disease control.
Cucurbit Pathotyping
Pathotyping information is available at the Collaboration for Plant Pathogen Strain Identification website housed at the University of California. “CPPSI is a science based, vegetable seed industry initiative developed to standardize the identification of plant pathogen strains and races based on sets of host differentials and reference pathogen strains.”
