The purpose of the project related to Proposal 507866 – CSP New Investigator Proposal (2021 Q3 NI) of DOE Joint Genome Institute is the whole genome re-sequencing of 36 different isolates and fruit bodies belonging to four widespread ectomycorrhizal fungal species, i.e., Tuber borchii, Suillus collinitus, Pisolithus tinctorius, and Scleroderma citrinum, collected in a plethora of habitats different from geographical and microclimatic point of view. The re-sequencing will allow to perform a population genomics and functional gene characterization of these species potentially facing the effect of the temperature increase due…

MYCO-GRAPE is a project of the Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation (Split, Croatia) funded by the Croatian Science Fundation. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are proven to have potential for alleviation of biotic stress in plants and activation of mycorrhiza-induced resistance. However, there are significant gaps in the knowledge on bioprotection efficiency of AMF against the plant viruses and no investigations were conducted on the grapevine. In this project the functional interplay among the grapevine-AMF-viruses will be addressed, having in mind the following: global importance of viticulture, grapevine high…

Read MoreGrapeStress
The GrapeStress main objective is to address important viticulture problems, such as the massive use of fungicides to fight against fungal pathogens and the need for a sustainable management of water resources. Somaclonal lines obtained in the frame of EditGrape project after in vitro application of a selective pressure, aimed at guiding towards the formation of regenerants with greater tolerance/resistance to stress, represent the starting point of the project. GrapeStress aims at the molecular, physiological and pathological characterization of the obtained somaclones. Plants regenerated in vitro will be acclimatized in…
