Action type: PSR Emilia-Romagna 2014-2020 – Operazione 16.1.01 Funds received: € 68.992,80 European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development The project aims to develop and validate innovative molecular diagnostic tools (LAMP = Loop-mediated isothermal amplification, ddPCR = Droplet Digital PCR) to early identify resistant weeds, insects and pathogens, considering the main harmful organisms of the crops of the Emilia Romagna region. More sustainable alternative management strategies will also be validated in order to reduce the use of chemical products and consequently lowering the risk of resistance onset. The innovative tools…

Spettroscopia Raman accoppiata con dielettroforesi (Raman-DEP) per l’identificazione di virus e la valutazione di molecole antivirali (ViRaDEP)
The aim of the project is the development of a cell for dielectrophoresis (DEP) coupled to a Raman microscope for the characterization and diagnosis of viruses and the evaluation of antiviral molecules. DEP allows to concentrate the viral particles present in a sample. The subsequent analysis in Raman spectroscopy will allow to acquire characteristic spectra in a few minutes, providing a greater quantity of chemical information compared to the DEP alone or to the spectroscopic investigation alone. The instrumentation will be applied on different plant viruses. Project Leader: Emanuela…
