Resistance of crop plants induced via bacterial quorum sensing molecules
Project
Project code: JKI-EP-08-2295
Contract period: 01.06.2016
- 31.08.2019
Purpose of research: Applied research
Plants, also crop plants, respond to bacterial quorum sensing molecules with different reactions. These may include induced resistance or growth promotion, both very valuable features in agriculture and breeding strategies. The goal of this project is to understand the interactions allow a potential use of the bacteria on crop plants. We plan new strategies for biologicals-based products in sustainable agriculture. In this project the work focuses on interactions between bacteria and barley, lettuce as well as tomato plants.
