A kutatási téma leírása:
Apricot orchard of Hungary shows drastic decline in the last few years which were often connected with the widespread presence of phytoplasma (Ca p prunorum). Beside this pathogen presence of new viruses were described by our group causing problems not only on apricot, but also in apple orchards. Metagenomics approaches based next generation sequencing techniques can reveal the presence of all pathogens present in the plant showing symptoms. Presence of bacteria and fungi can disclose by direct genome sequencing, while RNA seq and small RNA NGS can be used to describe viral pathogens in the investigated 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. With these new sensitive techniques we can survey not only our orchards but collections of varieties. 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.
