Training workshop on advanced methods in plant virus diagnostics - from disease phenotypes to virus genome diversity We invite scientists from research institutions, plant protection organizations and universities working in the field of plant health for a training workshop on modern tools in plant virus diagnostics. Ten participants from all regions of the world will be participating in a five-day workshop to gain insights into the detection and characterization of plant viruses - from biological assays to serological and molecular tests, including high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics. The aim of this workshop is to enable researchers in leading positions to set up diagnostic routines for virus-indexing of propagation materials and discovery of new viruses. The workshop will be held from 13th to 17th of May 2024 at the Plant Virus Department, Leibniz Institute -DSMZ in Braunschweig, Germany.
