and economic losses. While current management tools include seed applied and foliar fungicides that are often_x000D_
effective, timing of application, and their specific mode of action is sometimes lacking. Thus, there is a need to_x000D_
better understand how new seed treatment chemistries can be developed to protect plants from devastating_x000D_
fungal pathogens. Further, improving plant resistance to disease is a desirable long-term strategy but has_x000D_
proven extremely difficult to achieve, especially when multiple disease organisms are involved. Bayer_x000D_
CropScience is committed to providing canola growers with long-term solutions to manage plant disease_x000D_
through the development of new crop protection technologies. The aim of this Engage Plus project is to better_x000D_
understand the genetic mechanisms that provide protection to canola against some of Canada's most prevalent_x000D_
fungal pathogens. The information gained from this project will allow Bayer CropScience to improve_x000D_
chemistry selection programs for experimental compounds and new canola varieties, and thereby shortening the_x000D_
time it takes to bring innovative products to the market., program purpose french : Plant diseases are becoming increasingly problematic in Canadian canola production resulting in reduced yields_x000D_
