White lupin breeding for anthracnose resistance

White lupin is a sustainable alternative to soybeans for food and feed, but its cultivation is limited by Anthracnose, a seed-borne fungal disease caused by Colletotrichum lupini. The Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) is screening global seed collections to identify resistant varieties. Controlled-condition testing detects resistance in seeds, supporting breeding for durable resistance. A video demonstrates a rapid assessment method for researchers. This initiative enhances crop resilience and supports sustainable agriculture. Related content available via YouTube link.
