Objective
The objective of the project is the development of sweet potato genotypes resistant to the complex to Potyvirusesprevailing in China in order to be fed into national breeding programmes. The project aims at overcoming the scarcity of sources of resistance in the sweet potato germless. It is organised in 3 parts. Detection and characterisation of resistance sources among existing or old varieties of the crop, wild forms of the same species, or closely related species'. Development of engineered resistance by cloning single chain antibodies (scoff) targeting the coat proteins or the polymerise of the sweet potato Pot viruses, and using Agro bacterium and particle gun mediated genetic transformation without resorting to selectable markers. The characterisation of the biological components of virus resistance that could contribute to slow down the polycyclic building up of virus epidemics

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
