Investigation of the cause of sea buckthorn decline and development of counter measures (HippRham)
Project
Project code: JKI-OW-08-1224
Contract period: 01.09.2020
- 31.08.2023
Purpose of research: Applied research
Along the Baltic Sea coast, since 2015 severe dieback symptoms are apparent in production and coastal protection areas of buckthorn, Hipppohae rhamnoides. Based on available data though the background of these dieback symptoms remains inconclusive; no correlation is so far possible between biological / non-biological factors on one side and the identity / epidemiology of putative pathogens on the other side. This is particularly true for i) the specific infection scenario, both internal and external, ii) the spectrum of dieback-associated pathogens, and, iii) the possible impact of production measures on the sensitivity of buckthorn plants. In order to clarify the above issues JKI will work on the following working packages: A: Assessment of the available literature on buckthorn dieback; B: generation of field data; C: functional diversity, including diagnosis, of fungi associated with buckthorn; D: epidemiology of pathogens and related symptom development on the host; E: development and possible establishment of control measures; F: high throughput sequencing (HTS) of selected samples with emphasis on viruses and phytoplasms. In agreement with the project partners and directed to an improved control in the field any relevant results shall be made available for the practice.
