Start date 1 October 1994

End date 30 September 1997

Funded under

• Specific research and technological development and demonstration programme (EEC) in the field of agriculture and agro-industry, including fisheries, 1990-1994

Total cost € 1 095 938,00

EU contribution € 971 838,00

Objective

This project aims to develop markers for natural resistance genes in pea, to PSbMV. Strains to study the mechanisms employed in such resistance and by resistance-breakers strains of the virus. It further aims to construct suitable sectors, to transform pea with virus coat protein and RNA polymerase genes and to test transformed peas for expression of resistance.
