Research Project: Activating the Natural Disease Resistance Mechanisms of Potato

Location: Vegetable and Forage Crops Production Research

Project Number: 5354-21220-002-03
Project Type: Trust

Start Date: Jul 01, 2002
End Date: Sep 30, 2004

Objective:
Examine whether SAR can be used for disease control in potato.

Approach:
Study the SAR signal transduction. Monitor defense gene expression in different tissues using different elicitors of SAR. Once SAR activation is optimized, test against different pathogens. Documents Trust with WA Potato Commission. Log 21506. Formerly 5354-21220-008-03T, 8/2003.
