[VIRTIGATION - save tomatoes & cucurbits from virus @virtigation]

#Disinfection methods like #steaming or #solarisation can get rid of #Tobamovirus-contaminated growing media by #heat. Maria Schmidt from #VIRTIGATION partner LNW outlines our project's advances in improving these methods in a new #ResearchInBrief video: #H2020 #EUFunded #ToBRFV

#PlantDefense mechanisms involve intricate #signaling pathways that trigger activation & inhibition of various #responses, direct & indirect, achieved through #signal transduction. Our new infographics series #PlantsDiscovery shines a light on these mechanisms: #H2020 #EUFunded

To assess #ToBRFV presence in & around #greenhouses, #testing is required. Correct interpretation of test results can be challenging. A new paper w/ 🇧🇪#VIRTIGATION partners DCM & Scientia Terrae in @BS_PP explores this issue https://t.co/n2QlCFFTiu #PlantHealth #PCR #Detection

In our recent work @PlantBiotechJ we show that the 5´UTR of a gene can be edited for improved trait in potato #lowacrylamid. Fruitful collaboration with CRA-W and Max Rubner-Institut. #EAPR14 #CRISPR
