Location: Subtropical Plant Pathology Research
Project Number: 6034-22000-042-010-S
Project Type: Non-Assistance Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: Sep 1, 2014
End Date: Aug 31, 2019
Objective:
Develop experimental transmission system to study insect vectoring of emerging plant viruses
Approach:
Growth chamber and greenhouse experiments with plants infected with emerging viruses will be used to develop the experimental transmission system to define transmission parameters. Previously developed diagnostic assays will be used to monitor transmission.
