NEWS - Evolutionary study reveals the toxic reach of disease-causing bacteria across the Plant Kingdom Researchers have used Pseudomonas syringae in a comparative evolutionary approach to determine how this pathogen infects distantly related plants. okt.to/q83Zrs

🌿 Attention plant pathologists! The BSPP Small Project Fund offers up to £5000 for creative projects in plant disease control. Apply by July 31, 2024. Let’s innovate together! 💡🔬 #PlantScience #FundingOpportunity buff.ly/3YEQK5H

We are super excited to announce that we made a video with the @CountryTrust as part of their #PlantYourPants project! Joined by @MattHutchings10 and scientists from @JohnInnesCentre we explored the smell of soil with @W_EarlhamJunior school. youtu.be/xwN7dImB088?si… #soil

Lovely to see that our @APH_ISP #CSFB flyers match my boots!

Was really fantastic to talk to all the visitors at @JohnInnesCentre #breedersday today about the great #brassica science in @APH_ISP and @BRiC_ISP This is the peaceful scene after all the fantastic networking

BLOG - PhD Students deliver molecular biology training in Kenya and Nepal Earlier this year, three PhD students journeyed from Kenya to Nepal for their PIPS placements (PIPS) with MARPLE diagnostics okt.to/YgdbF2 @Saunders_Lab @BBSRC @NRPBIODTP @CIMMYT @kalromkulima

What better way to celebrate #WorldEnvironmentDay than discussing our latest #sustainable #agriculture and #crop research at our Church Farm experimentation field station’s #BreedersDay 🌾

Kick-off meeting of the Japan/UK project: “International Leading Research: Increasing Crop Disease Resistance by Basic Understanding of NLR Biology.” Kyoto, May 2024. kamounlab.tumblr.com/post/752071730…

Professor Saskia Hogenhout FRS is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. She is a biochemist who investigates interactions among plants, insects, and microbes once deemed experimentally intractable. #RSFellows royalsociety.org/people/saskia-…

Three of our 2nd year #PhD students at @JohnInnesCentre delivered molecular biology training in Kenya and Nepal on their PIPS with MARPLE Diagnostics @Saunders_Lab @BBSRC @CIMMYT @kalromkulima biodtp.norwichresearchpark.ac.uk/student-storie…
