Etiology and Control of Crop Diseases
1) Development of molecular methods for detection and differential diagnosis of pathogenic variants of the fungus Verticillium dahliae; 2) Analysis about genetic, molecular and pathogenic diversity of V. dahliae populations infecting relevant crops in Mediterranean agriculture; 3) Development of strategies for biological control of Verticillium wilt of olive. The main research line aims to elucidate the genetic and molecular basis of olive-V. dahliae- beneficial bacteria (mainly Pseudomonas spp.) interaction, with emphasis on strains able to establish endophytically. The study of mechanisms involved in plant resistance/natural tolerance to the pathogen and resistance induced by beneficial microorganisms are also areas of interest.
