Objective
Success and sustainability of agriculture in the EU in producing healthy food is highly dependent on the suppression of phytopathogens, which cause major crop losses and decrease the quality of food. Biocontrol forms an environmentally friendly alternative for chemical pesticides, which are often harmful for the environment and human health. Pseudomonas is the most frequently used biocontrol bacterium. To be able to understand biocontrol and to come to an efficient application this project will analyse the genomes of four Pseudomonas strains with different biocontrol mechanisms using functional and comparative analyses. The project focuses on
(1) the discovery of novel biocontrol genes,
(2) evolutionary aspects of biocontrol mechanisms
(3) relationships between Pseudomonas biocontrol strains and the human opportunistic P. aeruginosa PAOl and
(4) the development of microarrays for monitoring biocontrol activity in agriculture.
