Objetivo Improving the resistance of crops to diseases caused by viruses, fungi and nematodes is a major priority of agriculture. Current protection strategies based on extensive use of chemicals are considered untenable for sustainable agriculture due to negative impacts on the environment. Genetic engineering proved to be able to successfully overcome these problems by improving natural resistance of plants. However, the achieved protection levels are not yet sufficient for commercial use of the plants. Improvements are possible by using proteins with higher anti-viral, anti-fungal and or nematicidal potential. Therefore, the project aims at the investigation of resistant wild Solana species and at the identification of novel resistance mediating proteins and genes, useful to create resistant transgenic crop plants.
