NoPest aims to create an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides for controlling crop diseases caused by oomycetes. The project focuses on developing peptide aptamers to inhibit key enzymes in pathogen cell walls, reducing environmental impact and health risks associated with traditional fungicides.
Members of the oomycete phylum represent highly problematic crop pathogens and a threat for global food security.
For instance, P. infestans is the agent of potato late blight, and P. viticola of grapevine downy mildew.
Oomycete infections are currently controlled by frequent applications of copper-based compounds, but the massive use of these compounds leads to pollution, residual toxicity and adverse effects on human health.
The discovery of innocuous and reliable alternatives to traditional i…
