As the BIOVEXO project approaches its conclusion at the end of 2025, we are proud to announce our Final Conference, taking place on 13th November 2025 in Apulia, Italy—a region at the very heart of the fight against Xylella fastidiosa.
On 7 November, the VIRTIGATION project will organise its final event to present its results achieved in tackling emerging plant viruses in tomatoes & cucurbits.
On the 8th of April, the VIRTIGATION project will host a session on new mitigation strategies for the ToBRFV plant virus at the IAPV 25 conference.
What does the gene editing CRISPR/CAS9 technology have to do with grafting to create plants ready for climate change? The CRISPR/CAS9 biotech tool, also called “genetic scissors” can precisely edit DNA to make plants more resilient.
Entitled “Emerging viral diseases in tomatoes and cucurbits: Implementation of mitigation strategies for durable disease management”, the VIRTIGATION project, an EU-funded Research & Innovation (R&I) action, officially kicked off on the 15th-16th of June 2021. VIRTIGATION will run for 4 years, starting on the 1st of June 2021 and will be implemented by an international consortium of 25 partners.
