VEGOIA phenotyping platform dedicated to the study of grapevine resistance to downy mildew, powdery mildew and black rot

A platform to: 

• evaluate the level of resistance of genetic resources and grapevine study collections under controlled conditions
• identify and characterize resistance factors in grapevines and related species
• evaluate the resistance to mildew and powdery mildew of new grapevine varieties, as requested by the CTPS from the registration of these varieties.

Facilities

• an S2 greenhouse dedicated to the preparation of plant material prior to phenotyping
• a pathology laboratory including automatic reading of symptoms by image analysis and quantitative evaluation of resistance by stereomicroscope observation
• climate chambers for the conservation and production of pathogen inoculum, as well as for the incubation of samples to be evaluated.
