The chemical communication between potato and cyst nematodes as a basis for sustainable improvement of potato yield
In this project, we aim to develop a new strategy to improve yield stability of potato by using knowledge about the signaling relation between the... -
Monitoring and tackling genetic selection in the potato cyst nematode Globodera pallida
The aim of the project was to exchange knowledge and knowhow among partners as a first step to counter the emergence of virulent G. pallida... -
Project: HR matching - molecular pathotyping of parasitic nematodes to maximize agronomic life span of non-hosts and host plant resistances
Soil-borne plant pathogens have been controlled for decades by non-selective fumigants with a highly negative impact on human health and the... -
Project: Development of a HTP screening platform for targeted selection of GM-free genotypes with novel recognition specification based on the rational design of functional R genes
Changing environmental conditions by global warming increasingly cause major outbreaks of virus and nematode infections in tomato and potato growing... -
Project: Rational selection of natural and durable resistances in vegetables by exploiting the genome sequence of root-knot nematodes
Recent legislation has banned the use of most pesticides to control nematode infections in vegetable production in Europe. Vegetable growers therefore...
