"Go to the back burner, then pfff" said Thierry. This summarizes the difficult job that we did today.

EST, CF11 and sRNA analyses allowed us to find many new viruses in 5 on 6 of our targeted plants.

The questions are :

 How do we feed-back these new viruses into WP1 diagnostics ?
 How do we publish and describe them ?
 How do we allocate tasks to each of us, for the design of primers, development of protocols and screening of the germplasm ?

"We move forward in small steps, but we do not go backwards" said the coordinator.
