A team of researchers at the University of Lethbridge is working on an inexpensive way to detect clubroot disease in soil. The project has the potential to help canola farmers protect their bottom line. Jaclyn Kucey has the details.The University of Lethbridge International Genetically-Engineered Machine team — or iGEM team — is working to counteract a disease that affects canola crops.
That pathogen is known as Clubroot, a costly soil-borne disease that affects the root and limits yields. Even with solutions like genetically modified Clubroot-resistant crops, it still finds a way to infect canola, racking up costs for farmers. The ULethbridge iGEM team, called Club^2, is hoping to help cut those costs with a rapid detection kit.
