CIFRE INRAE GAFL - SAKATA VEGETABLES EUROPE SAS : Genetic architecture of Capsicum annuum for powdery mildew resistance and impact of genetic resistance factors on the diversity and epidemiology of Leveillula taurica

PhD student : Flavie Cussonneau

Supervisor : Dr. Véronique Lefebvre

The thesis project focuses on the study of chili pepper resistance to powdery mildew. It has 3 objectives: -i- establish a catalog of resistance loci to Leveillula taurica from a genetic resource collection and a biparental chili progeny segregating for resistance, -ii- describe the genetic diversity of L. taurica worldwide, and -iii- characterize the effect of chili powdery mildew resistance loci on L. taurica genetic diversity.
