About

Project Idea(s)

  • Combined solutions for disease management in several key or emerged crops : genetic resistance, biocontrol products (against pathogens, insects or weeds) and early detection of pathogens.

  • Development of an efficient Decision Support Tool (DST) for farmers combining climatic data and pathogen detection

Expertise and potential contributions

✔ Early detection of pathogens and development of pest management tools

  • Specific detection of ~40 pathogenic fungi, bacteria or viruses, including spore trapping

  • Molecular and biochemical tools

  • Analysis of samples in various matrices

  • Monitoring in confined spaces and open fields

✔ Improving knowledge of biocontrol products

  • Evaluation of product efficacy

  • Deciphering their mode of action

  • Identification of factors influencing product efficiency

  • Assessment of their compatibility with conventional pesticides

  • Environmental impact study

✔ Innovative tolerant plant materials towards pests and diseases

  • Inter- and intra-specific crosses for resistance trait introgression

  • Development of molecular markers to tag genes of pest resistances

  • Precise plant-by-plant phenotyping toward diseases
