Poland: Will there be bean varieties resistant to disease and drought tolerant?

One of the research topics for this and the following years at the Institute of Horticulture - National Research Institute in Skierniewice is to learn about the molecular basis of the mechanisms of the bean's response to selected biotic and abiotic stresses. The experiments will be carried out as part of Basic Research for Biological Progress in Plant Production in 2021-2027, co-financed from the state budget. The project is a response to the need to develop new and efficient strategies to reduce the risk to bean production not only due to the limited availability of water, but also due to the increasing pressure of pathogens - peripheral perpetrators (Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. Phaseolicola) and acute bacteriosis (Xanthomonas phaseoli pv). . phaseoli). The expected measurable effect of the proposed research will be the characterization of Polish bean materials in terms of their response to stress of water shortage and infection by P. savastanoi pv. phaseolicola and X. phaseoli ...
