Research projects
The Dutch Elm Disease (DED), caused by pathogenic fungi that invade xylem, has killed millions of elm trees during the 20th century. Due to the multiple factors involved (elm hosts, fungi and beetles), DED is difficult to control. The aim of the work is to gain new information about endophyte fungi, a specific group of elm-associated organisms that may help to protect the host against its natural enemies and develop a novel way of protecting the broadleaf trees populations.
