Kurzbeschreibung (Englisch)

Development & Product Launch of Grapevine Virus A+B and Difficult-Class Phytoplasma Agro-Diagnostics (BIOREBA AG)

Abstract (Deutsch)

Grapevine virus A+B, the phytoplasma Flavescence dorée, Bois noir and European stone fruit yellows are causing non-curable and spreading diseases of major crops, the only solution being total incineration of infected plants and re-planting, with two of these diseases now classified as EPPO quarantine pathogens. It is indispensable for the agricultural industry to obtain certified (pathogen-free) plants and BIOREBA has long served both markets, that is diseased plant diagnostics and diagnostics for the international market of certification programs who must validate pathogen free stocks. With this proposal BIOREBA will become the only company worldwide who can offer a full range of serological tests for all currently demanded viruses in the grapevine certification program, and provides technical solutions to accelerate the current early development pipeline for difficult-class phytoplasma-genus plant diagnostics
