Host-based molecular markers for early detection of infection

• Goal– To determine if host-based molecular markers are unique to a particular pathogen
• Activities – Identification of which pathogens are present in grapevine wood

Results and Outputs – Utilize qPCR to detect differential expression of target genes Significant Outcomes & Impacts – Identification of which pathogens are present in nursery stock grapevine wood. Eliminate contaminated stocks that would otherwise be used for propagation.
