Congress Presentation
Plant viruses and their vectors cause serious economic losses, limit worldwide crop production, and have negative effects on the quality and safety of food. The use of genetic resistance is one of the best ways to control plant viruses and their vectors. ResistVir is a
Coordination Action funded by the 6th EU Framework Program which aims at improving co-ordination of research on genetic resistance to plant pathogenic viruses and vectors in European crops. This will ultimately result in new sources of sustainable resistance to plant
viruses and vectors, being used in conventional and GM crops, and in decreased pesticide usage.

ResistVir is now organizing an International Congress dedicated to current research activities on genetic resistances to plant pathogenic viruses and their vectors. The meeting will cover aspects related to (i) important/emergent plant virus diseases, (ii) factors required for virus multiplication and spread, (iii) plant responses to viruses and/or their vectors, (iv) new approaches to control plant viruses and their vectors, (v) resistance durability, and (vi)
