Ours Objectives
To identify and select xylem -and vector foregut- inhabiting bacteria with biocontrol potential against X. fastidiosa subspecies.
To evaluate the biocontrol potential of already isolated and/or new bacteriophages against X. fastidiosa subspecies.
To select natural and synthetic functional peptides against X. fastidiosa subspecies.
To explore the natural resistance (non-hosts) or tolerance to X. fastidiosa in main perennial crops, forestry species, and plants from the natural landscape of affected outbreaks areas in Spain.
To develop an active coordination, dissemination, communication and technology transfer plan of project activities and results involving stakeholders’ engagement.
