Dissection of molecular mechanisms underlying tolerance to virus and viroid infection in grafted tomato plants (DiVInGrafT)

Dissection of molecular mechanisms underlying tolerance to virus and viroid infection in grafted tomato plants (DiVInGrafT) PROGETTI DI RICERCA DI RILEVANTE INTERESSE NAZIONALE (PRIN)– Bando 2022; Finanziato dall’Unione Europea – Next Generation EU   The DiVInGrafT research project aims to uncover the molecular mechanisms of grafting in the activation of defence mechanisms against biotic stress, in order to develop sustainable protection strategies of tomato plants crops from diseases induced by viruses and viroids. It has long been known that grafted plants show greater resilience to stresses. However, the molecular mechanisms…
