Goal– To determine if water stress exacerbates infection and test specificity of host-based markers to infection
Activities – Identification of host-based markers specific to infection and water stress
Two watering regimes tested:
- Well-watered control
- Severe water stress (16-17 bars leaf water potential)
Three inoculation regimes tested:
- NINW: non-inoculated non-wounded
- NIW: non-inoculated wounded
- IW: inoculated wounded
Results & Outputs – To understand how abiotic stress can influence disease progression and to validate molecular marker specificity to Neofusicoccumparvum.
