Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'SharCo is aimed at helping the EU face the accession of Member States known as endemic of sharka disease by providing the EU with tools such as marker-assisted selection, PPV resistant plant materials, guidelines, warning systems, decision-support system. On that purpose, the project will, in the field of epidemiology, identify driving factors of PPV spread and diversification and develop novel and highthrough-put detection systems warning sharka outbreaks. In the field of genetics, it will provide molecular markers for the implementation of marker assisted selection of PPV resistant fruit varieties. In the field of biology, we will assess innovative biotechnological approaches to broaden resistance to PPV in different fruit tree species. Finally, in order to develop a PPV outbreak management, we will elaborate i) guidelines for endusers and policy makers concerning cultivation and risk management, ii) an early warning system coupled with a decision support system. All knowledge and tools developed by the project will be widely disseminated all over Europe with special attention made to PPV endemic countries.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
Researchers have come up with a number of biological and practical solutions to limit the devastating effects of a disease known as Sharka. The disease affects stone fruits like peaches, apricots and plums.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The acidic and deformed fruits that develop as a result of Sharka cannot be marketed. Moreover, the only way to limit the disease spread is to destroy all trees infected with the causal agent, the plum pox virus (PPV).
An EU-funded initiative known as 'Sharka containment' (SHARCO) was established to develop knowledge and tools to help stone fruit producers minimise the risk of infection. The project focused particularly on European countries where the virus is endemic.
Producers now have access to PPV-resistant plant materials, accurate and reliable methods of PPV detection, guidelines, early warning systems and a decision support system. Researchers also gained insights into viral diversity and identified the driving factors behind the spread of PPV.
Project members covered every relevant aspect of stone fruit vulnerability, from seedling production to grafting and orchard management. The resultant tools will allow producers to contain the spread of the disease in both orchards and nurseries.
A combination of measures provided by the SHARCO project is expected to significantly reduce the incidence of PPV, which should secure the trade of stone fruit.
