Project Number: 6618-22000-024-00
Project Type: Appropriated

Start Date: Apr 13, 2000
End Date: Apr 12, 2005

Objective:
Determine genetic, epidemiological, biochemical, biological, and serological characteristics of Citrus Tristeze Virus and of the exotic pathogens to improve citrus productivity and to support regulatory actions. Determine nature of host-pathogen interactions, especially as related to host resistance.

Approach:
Develop a coordinated, multiphased research effort on Citrus Tristeza Virus and other exotic citrus diseases in Florida with University of Florida (Lake Alfred and Gainesville) and ARS personnel (Ft. Pierce and Beltsville). Cooperative agreement will be developed to implement the research effort between these parties within the USA and Abroad (for research that cannot be performed in Florida or Maryland).
