New ARRS project at the department

At this year’s project proposal call from Slovenian Research Agency (ARRS) project submitted by our colleague Jerica Sabotič entitled “FunContrAPest: Novel Fungal Proteins as Biopesticides for Control of Challenging Invasive Alien Agricultural Pests” (J4-2543) was selected for three-year financing.
The proposed project aims at developing new environmentally friendly biopesticides based on defense proteins from higher fungi (mushrooms) to combat invasive alien agricultural pests. It will be implemented in collaboration with the Hungarian research team from the Plant Protection Institute of the Szent Istvan University led by prof. Stefan Toepfer as well as with groups from the Agricultural Institute of Slovenia and from Biotechnical Faculty, University of Ljubljana.
