SYNergie is a joint project with the Julius Kühn Institute (JKI) and the Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences and is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture (BMEL). The aim of the project is the detection and inactivation of the potato fungus Synchytrium endobioticum (SE). This fungus uses potato plants as a host plant and triggers the so-called potato wart disease. Due to the formation of very resistant permanent sori (encapsulated spores) in the soil, which last up to 46 years, Synchytrium endobioticum has been classified as a quarantine pathogen.
