The projectis a strategical approach by the Faculty of Natural Resources and Agricultural Sciences. The goal is to study perennial and annual crops from different perspectives.

A major challenge in plant breeding is the improvement of resistance to a multitude of pathogens that threaten crop productivity. Successful pathogens have evolved a large repertoire of molecular
