Clubroot of crucifers — cauliflower

Brassica oleracea L. (Cauliflower Group)

A fungal disease of cauliflower caused by the soil-borne parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae, manifesting in the formation of galls on the roots and the disruption of plant nutrition.

In the reference 25 varieties crop Cauliflower, where this is mentioned in the description.

The causative agent is the obligate parasite Plasmodiophora brassicae. On the roots of cauliflower, the disease manifests as swellings, galls, and spindle-shaped or irregularly shaped outgrowths. Damage to the roots leads to a loss of leaf turgor, yellowing of the leaves, stunted development, and the formation of small or underdeveloped inflorescences, up to a complete lack of curd formation in cases of severe infection.

The pathogen is characterized by high heterogeneity and the presence of numerous physiological races, including pathotypes Pb:0, Pb:1, Pb:2, Pb:3. In cauliflower breeding, genetic loci CRa, CRb, CRA05, and CRd are used to provide resistance. Cauliflower is considered one of the most susceptible cruciferous crops to this disease, making root system diagnostics and the use of resistant hybrids key elements of protection.
