Studies on Ribes plants, Cecidophyopsis mites and viruses for sustainable resistance breeding and cultivation of Ribes
The main aim of the project is to explain the interaction of the Cecidophyopsis-blackcurrant reversion virus (BRV) complex on Ribes plants: 1) studies on the concept and genetic diversity of genus Cecidophyopsis species; 2) elucidation of Cecidophyopsis mite role in BRV transmission; 3) characterization of host defence mechanisms against Cecidophyopsis and BRV using gene expression and transcriptome analyses by NGS; 4) collection and evaluation of local Ribes cultivar germplasm; 5) NGS RNA-seq data screening for identification of novel viruses.
