Project description

The overall aim of the study is to demonstrate that Artemia can be used as model to identify disease resistance gene in crustaceans by 1) identifying Artemia strains via differential Vibrio resistance, 2) making an AFLP based map, 3) identifying QTL for disease resistance, 4) cloning the causal gene involved in disease resistance.
