Abstract
In many European countries, phoma stem canker (Leptosphaeria maculans) control is currently reliant on the use of foliar fungicide sprays. Although the use of resistant cultivars can offer a viable alternative, the pathogen is highly variable and single-gene resistance tends to break down within a few seasons due to the emergence of new races after the widespread release of resistant
cultivars. The SECURE project (StEm Canker of oilseed rape: molecular tools and mathematical modelling to deploy dUrable REsistance; QLK5-CT-2002-01813) aims to deliver a model for deployment of cultivars with resistance to L. maculans to improve durability of resistance. There are four targeted specialist groups of end users: policy makers/politicians/government agencies; plant
breeders / advisers / farmers; the international scientific community; citizens groups and the general public. An important mechanism for delivery is the SECURE web-site (www.secure.rothamsted.ac.uk). Other more traditional routes of dissemination are press articles, field demonstrations, workshops, breeding programmes, conferences and peer-reviewed refereed papers.
