The Brazilian Association of Seed and Seedling Trade (ABCSEM) launched the Bremia Project to monitor downy mildew races (Bremia lactucae Regel) and develop resistant lettuce cultivars.

The Bremia Project, which combats one of the main diseases affecting lettuce crops in Brazil and worldwide, was presented during Hortitec 2024, with special coverage by AgroPages.

The initiative, considered innovative, was conducted in partnership with the São Paulo State University (UNESP) and the Foundation for Research, Teaching, and Extension Support (FUNEP).
