2nd EPS Peptide Highlights Virtual Symposium

Last Wednesday (March 2, 9 am CET), the CIDSAV has participated in the  2^nd EPS Peptide Highlights Virtual Symposium The virtual event was hosted by the European Peptide Society (EPS) and its Journal of Peptide Science. Moderated by Cátia Teixeira (University of Porto) and Paolo Rovero (Editor-in-Chief Journal of Peptide Science).

“Peptide-based approaches to fight crop diseases”

• Emili Montesinos (Universitat de Girona- CIDSAV) “ The potential of functional peptides for the control of emerging diseases caused by plant pathogenic bacteria”
• Volker Herzig (USC Queensland): “The search for arachnid venom-derived peptides as eco-friendly bio-insecticides”
• Stefano Rosa (University of Milan): “An in vivo platform for the isolation of cyclic peptides with antimicrobial activity toward plant pathogens”.
