Project code: JKI-OW-08-0016
Contract period: 01.01.2008 - 01.12.2018
Purpose of research: Applied research

There is a high demand on fast and reliable diagnostic tools for identification of viruses and viroids on fruit crops and grapevine. Either laboratory methods are lacking requiring time consuming biotests on indicators or existing tests are not sufficiently validated (lack of data on isolates). At the same time new methods are being developed, resulting in improved diagnostics (reduction in required staff and consumables, increased sensitivity, multiple tests, etc.) and which have to be investigated for phytosanitary purposes and within international competitiveness.
