PVwide Organization

Field of research in laboratories from different Institutes in CR participating on PVY :

Department of virology, Potato Research Institute Havlickuv Brod (www.vubhb.cz/)
- Applied research on virus and viroid potato diseases, their exact diagnosis and differentiation on type and strain level, epidemiological studies and maintenance of healthy initial potato materials. In the framework of other activities, a collection of potato virus isolates is gathered, characterized and maintained and the activity of reference laboratory for quarantine viruses and viroids of potato is performed.

Laboratory of Virology, Institute of Experimental Botany CAS, Prague   (www.ueb.cas.cz/)
- Studies of molecular properties of plant viruses by immunological and molecular biological methods, expression of heterologous proteins in plants
