URGENTpine
UnRaveling hostpathoGEn iNteracTions in pine pitch canker disease
2016-2019
URGENTpine will be monitoring and identifying Fusarium isolates in Portuguese plantations, acting as a research platform to explore host-pathogen interactions and testing environmental-friendly strategies for biocontrol of forest plant pathogens. It will provide a high profile platform by adopting a cross-disciplinary approach (from physiology to Omics) to create knowledge and tools to explore the intricate defence system against pathogens for forest trees having Pinus-Fusarium interaction as a model.
UrgentPine 2.0
Developing a resilient forest based on the experimental platform Pinus-Fusarium circinatum: From knowledge to action
2022-2023
O OBJETIVO do URGENTpine2.0 é contribuir para uma FLORESTA RESILIENTE através da indução de resistência (IR) em plantas de pinheiro recorrendo a estratégias ecológicas e rentáveis. Isto permitirá uma produção sustentável de plantas em viveiro aumentado a sua capacidade inata de defesa (via indução química e/ou manipulação de microbioma). Pretende-se aumentar a qualidade geral da planta em estufa não só em termos de crescimento mas também as suas defesas, uma característica que esperamos que ao manter-se em campo aumenta o sucesso da reflorestação.
HALIUS
Halotolerant rhizobacteria for enhanced tolerance of Olea europaea to saline stress and infection
2021-2024
The general objective of project HALIUS is to demonstrate that rhizosphere engineering of an economically relevant crop (Olea europaea) with halotolerant PGPB, selected from an existing library of isolates, can effectively contribute to enhanced tolerance to abiotic (salinity) and biotic (X. fastidiosa infection) stress.
F4F
Forest for Future
2020-2023
F4F main goal to demonstrate innovative techniques that allow to increase the value of forests, particularly, pine trees. These actions will be based on pilot projects and concept proofs made in real context, accounting for the various realities of the Centro region. To ensure the success of such actions, several economic agents, ranging from forest producers to final consumers, will be articulated and mobilized.
