Downy mildews lead to economic losses in high-value herbs & baby leaf salads. NIAB research aims to detect pathogen DNA in seed, helping evaluate the efficacy of non-chemical treatments for seed producers & growers, & reducing risk of #downymildew#planthealthweek#IYPH2020
Conversion of SNP chip assays into locus-specific KASP markers in polyploid species can be tricky!
In collaboration with the JLU team, we present a "user guide" for effective SNP conversion into KASP markers in wheat: https://t.co/VVBuA5u1EI #openaccess
Genetic mapping using a wheat multi-founder population reveals a locus on chromosome 2A controlling resistance to both leaf and glume blotch caused by the necrotrophic fungal pathogen Parastagonospora nodorum: https://t.co/GYMvoit9Lj @james_f_cockram@karchuntan
We still need your #yellowrust! Thanks to everyone who has sent in samples which are being processed! But keep sending those samples into UKCPVS at NIAB https://t.co/kHry5gcF0Q @TheAHDB
1st signs of Yellow Rust spotted at the @SyngentaCropsUK Beeswax Trials site near Newark.
Looks like it could be a yellow rust year after all!
By the way... have I ever mentioned how good Elatus Era is at controlling the stuff!? 🤔

Head to the #UKCPVS page to access slides (also cover barley yellow rust, and wheat and barley powdery mildew) and for info on sampling https://t.co/4t32FGqiMT @AHDB_Cereals
More from our staff in Colombia: Disease testing on Phaseolus accessions in one of the glasshouses at @BiovIntCIAT_eng. NIAB will be undertaking additional disease tests on hybrid bean populations in the near future, searching for new sources of improved resistance #hybridbeans
