MANAGEMENT OF BIOTIC AND ABIOTIC STRESS IN FRUIT CROPS

Objective

Identify genetic, biochemical & structural mechanisms associated with abiotic & biotic stress resistance in fruit crops. Optimize microbial-based bio control of fruit diseases & reduce contamination by food-borne pathogens. Develop alternatives to synthetic pesticides for disease control, nonchemical strategies to manage fire blight of pome fruit, new technologies that reduce economic losses caused by effect of biotic & abiotic stresses on fruit crops, and new tree germplasm possessing resistance to diseases.
