Collaborative project: Quantitative and qualitative detection of wheat and barley bunt diseases (Tilletia spp., Ustilago nuda) by means of biotechnolgy methods (q-PCR, LAMP-technology)
Project
Project code: 2812NA017
Contract period: 01.10.2014
- 31.12.2019
Budget: 404,747 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
In the here presented project highly efficient and economically viable methods will be developed to detect seed born smut fungi (Tilletia spp., Ustilago nuda) in wheat and barley. With the help of these methods we are not only aiming at individually and unambiguously identifying the pathogens, also in mixed contaminations of seed lots, but we are also aiming at quantifying the contamination level of seed lots by these fungi. To reach these goals molecular biological methods, based on q-PCR and LAMP, respectively, will be developed and optimised. These methods will be internationally validated and then submitted to the International Seed Testing Association (ISTA) for implementation in the handbook “International Rules for Seed Testing”.
