Abstract

In SuberSafe, we intend to protect cork oaks (and thus promote cork production) by (1) finding the best biocontrol strategies for restricting three of the most dangerous cork oak pathogens, (2) by creating RNA-based new generation biocides against the same pathogens, and also (3) by optimizing an endotherapy method for delivering BCA-based or RNA-based biocides into the vascular system.(DOI: 10.54499/2023.17288.ICDT)
