Summary:
Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State Universitys project of the Legume ipmPIPE is to fund activities under two objectives. In Objective 1 the state specialist and collaborators will conduct activities as specified in the 2009 Legume ipmPIPE sampling protocols, and establish three snap bean plots for seasonal monitoring of Groups 1, 2 and 4 diseases and insect pests, conduct virus immunoassays for Bean yellow mosaic virus and cucumber mosaic virus, and report findings to the Legume ipmPIPE. In Objective 2, the state virologist will serve as the national expert for legume virus immunoassay development in cooperation with Agdia, Inc., provide training in processing and interpreting virus assays by participating laboratories, and conduct experiments to enhance specificity and scope of the assays, including use of new viruses and new antisera. The virologist will participate regularly in east and west regional and national networking, training activities and conference calls.
Objectives: 1. Perform activities as specified in the Legume IPM-PIPE protocols for 2009. a. Establish three (3) field plots of snap beans in Virginia to monitor diseases and pests in Groups 1-4. b. Provide samples and funding to appropriate laboratories for disease assessments and diagnoses. c. Report findings to Legume ipmPIPE (all diseases and pests). 2. Serve as the key laboratory for development and interpretation of serological assays for viruses, provide training for diagnosticians, and enhance the specificity and scope of current and future legume virus tests. |
