System for quantification of target molecules and nucleic acids

The System for quantification of target molecules and nucleic acids is an integrated system that includes measurements of the response to biotic stress (pathogens) and abiotic stress (e.g. high temperatures, water deficit) in plants, and the simultaneous detection and identification of the presence of pathogens that cause the established stress situations. The equipment will be used to detect and identify pathogens and other stress factors, to verify the response of plants to stress conditions, and to analyse the interactions between the plant and the stressor (pathogen, drought, high temperature, frost) at different levels: physiological, genetic, genomic and transcriptomic.
