This project aims to exploit genome sequence information of root-knot nematodes to accelerate breeding of novel nematode resistances in vegetables. This information will be used to design new tools to more efficiently identify and select for nematode resistance in vegetable crops.
By participating on the user committee of this project, ClearDetections ensures its leading position in terms of knowledge about plant parasitic Nematodes diagnostics and the potential developments that can contribute to the development of even more targeted molecular diagnostics tools.
