| 英文摘要 | Sorghum, Sorghum bicolor, is one of the most important crops in many developing countries. It plays a crucial role for food security in Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, sorghum production is adversely affected by the widely distributed anthracnose disease caused by the fungal pathogen Colletotrichum sublineolum. Reducing the effects of this pathogen will improve livelihood of smallholder famers and strengthen food security in the country. Plant host resistance is an effective and sustainable method to protect sorghum from anthracnose. However, the breeding efforts to develop sorghum cultivars resistant to anthracnose is hampered by the poor understanding of the sorghum-anthracnose interactions, and lack of known major resistance (R-) genes. Here, we propose to apply the state-of-the-art resistance gene sequence capture method (RenSeq) coupled with single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing, emerging molecular biology, metabolomics and biotechnology techniques for improving sorghum resistance. We will screen sorghum genotypes for resistance to anthracnose and understand the molecular basis of resistance against this disease, as well as identify and perform functional analysis of novel R-genes. Apart from an improved understanding about resistance mechanisms against anthracnose in sorghum, it will help develop genomic tools for marker assisted breeding; thus, advancing the knowledge and increasing sorghum production in Ethiopia, and other sub-Saharan countries. |
