Global Scientific Purpose:

Bio2Bio aims to identify molecules in extracts of organic residual flows that can be used as biostimulants of biopesticides. We want to find 1 biostimulant and 1 biopesticide by means of a broad spectrum screening platform that involves a series of in vitro / greenhouse / field bioassays. We will also test combinations of extracts and fractions thereof. We want to understand the mechanism of action of at least 1 biostimulant. We will investigate this by analyzing treatment in the transcriptome and the metabolome of treated plants and by performing a meta-analysis. One of 2 organic residual flows will determine how we can valorise them in their entirety.
