Development of bioassays for the evaluation of host resistance and crop protection products Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
The aim of this project is to develop new bioassays or improve existing bioassays with plant pathogens. Such assays involve controlled inoculations of test plants. Each pathogen and each host plant species requires specific conditions for successful infection. The eventual aim is to use these bioassays in three areas: 1) to test if a cultivar contains a level of resistance to a (race of the) ...
