AGROGENDETEC: NEW METHOD FOR THE DETECTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF PATHOGENS IN EARLY STAGES INFECTIONS OF CROPS WITH AGRO-INDUSTRIAL INTEREST

Diseases produced by plant pathogens, especially fungal pathogens, have a great impact on agriculture and its derived economy, as well as on the management of natural resources.

The movement of germplasm and any other plant material for use in agriculture, ornamentation and forestry may involve a great risk for the spread of diseases and pests. AgroGenDetec aims to develop a new method for detection and identification of fungal pathogens in early-stage infections by characterizing the "genetic fingerprint" of molecular elements that regulate the specific plant‑pathogen interaction.

Currently, there is not a similar molecular tool/methodology capable of accurately perform the detection and identification of a large number of pathogens during earliest stages infections.
