Project objectives ( i) Conduct Verticillium wilt disease grading of F2 progeny from the intra-specific crosses G. hirsutum Sicala V-1 x Siokra 1-4 and Acala Royale x CS 50 and the inter-specific cross G.

The objectives of the project were (I) to evaluate potential biocontrol agents for seedling disease control, (2) to evaluate potential biocontrol agents for the control of Verticillium wilt of cotton and (3) to develo

I attended the 7th International Verticillium Conference, held in Greece from 6th-10th October, 1997.

A large collection of microorganisms with over 2000 isolates has been established at the Australian Cotton Research Institute for the purpose of identifying potential bio-control agents and developing biological contr

With the advent of new molecular genetic techniques, it is now possible to identify the particular pathogen strain in an outbreak of plant disease, to characterise it, and potentially, to isolate genes associated with
