Introduction

Fruit trees and grapevine are propagated vegetatively and are often grafted

As a result they suffer from a high number of pathogens such as viruses and viroids, with some of them causing severe yield losses and reducing the productive life of the affected plants

These pathogens cannot be controlled by the application of chemicals therefore the most efficient way to combat them is the production and commercialization of high quality pathogen-tested propagative material

VirFree brings together partcipants from both academia and private companies to collaborate through their experiense on the following objectives: 

1. to identify new viral and viroid strains or species affecting fruit trees and grapevine
2. to optimize existing and develop novel detection methods and 
3. to improve propagation and sanitation methods for producing high quality (virus-tested) plant material of fruit trees and grapevine. For the implementation of these targets diagnostic tools currently used in certification programs will be combined with advanced technologies such as next generaton sequencing (NGS) and nanobodies.
