Pre-HLB is an EU H2020 project aimed to develop a contingency plan to protect the citriculture in the EU from huanglongbing (HLB, also known as “greening”) disease. Through a multidisciplinary approach and in collaboration with experienced partners from America and Asia, Pre-HLB aims to find innovative measures to prevent the spread of the disease in the EU and to manage it. In the frame of Pre-HLB, IPSP leads the task 8.7 “Survey of bacterial communities and phages associated with T. erytreae” and contribute to the activities of the task 8.6…
Read MoreVirus-free fruit nurseries (Vir-Free)
VirFree joins the expertise of academia and private companies to: (i) identify new viral and viroid strains or species affecting fruit trees and grapevine; (ii) optimise existing and develop novel virus detection methods; (iii) improve propagation and sanitation methods for producing high quality plants for planting of fruit trees and grapevine. To this aim, diagnostic tools currently used in certification programs will be combined with advanced technologies such as next generation sequencing (NGS) and nanobodies. Eight academic partners within the EU and associated countries, three within Third Countries and five…
Read MoreOlive Biodiversity for Saving Salento from Xylella (BIOSAVEX)
The Project will evaluate the response to natural infections of olive tree cultivars and clones of the cv Leccino to Xylella fastidiosa, for which there are field and molecular evidence indicating resistance to the bacterium. Transcriptomic and anatomo-physiology studies will be carried out in Leccino and in the susceptible cultivar Ogliarola salentina, aimed at evaluating the mechanisms of interaction and resistance / susceptibility to X. fastidiosa infections. Protocols for the management of olive orchards will also be implemented and validated to evaluate the use of the selected cultivars in different…
