Overview of thesis

Development of singular and modular multi-purpose peptides for efficient crop protection

This Project aims to design and test novel peptide carriers for enhanced delivery and efficacy of crop protection agents. The expected outcome will be novel peptides tailored to precision delivery of crop protection agents to crops. Potential benefits include significant reduction of agrochemical uses, building productive farming systems, healthy landscapes and healthy foods.
