Decline of fruit trees is a big agronomic problem decreasing crop yield constantly. Fruit trees can be infected by several pathogens, including viruses and viroids.
High-throughput sequencing (HTS) revolutionized plant virology as with this method information about all the presenting pathogens in the sample can be disclosed. Small RNA HTS, a special field of this new technology, investigates small RNAs derived during virus infection by the RNA interference based defence mechanism of the host.
The aim of the project would be to survey apple orchards and variety collections using small RNA HTS and RNAseq. The applicant would be involved from the sample collection through the small RNA library preparation and bioinformatics analysis of the results till the validation of the results by different molecular biology based methods. Based on these we would described all the presenting pathogens in the sample. Further investigation of the complex infections can answer the question which pathogen in which combination cause symptoms leading to severe loss in crop yields. Our results will also give information about the variants or strains present in our country. This detailed information would help us not only to plan plant protection strategies, but find new avenues to prevent their spread and minimise their damage.
