VERTHY Agriculture
In our agriculture projects we combine plant and microbial genetics with field experience to develop practical solutions for sustainable agriculture. We focus on improving crop resilience, supporting farmers with innovative inoculants, and translating molecular insights into real-world benefits.
Projects at a glance
-
Powdery mildew resistance in cold climate
Breeding and selecting cold-hardy vines with durable resistance: field phenotyping, controlled inoculation, and marker screening of resistance loci using NGS. -
Microbiome engineering for sustainable agriculture
Genome mining, plasmidomics, and metabolomics to uncover traits for plant growth promotion, biocontrol, and stress resilience. Bench-to-field workflows (seed and foliar treatments, formulation, and success-control metrics).
Core services
- Genetic screening of plant resistance traits
- Microbial inoculant and metabolite development
- Field pilot design for seed and foliar treatments
