News from the Bacterial Plant Diseases Projects
- February 23rd 2021: Launch of animation to introduce nine bacterial plant disease projects (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HELw_WCOXw). This was generated by SciAni. Please contact Geraint Parry if you would like a copy of the video.
- February 17th: DEFRA are increasing restrictions and requirements for the import of high risk Xylella host plants to reduce the chances that Xylella is introduced into GB. The aim of these measures is to enhance the level of protection against the risk of entry of Xylella into GB via imported plants. More information here.
- February 3rd 2021: KTN’s Microbiome Innovation Network launches the Microbiome Strategic Roadmap. Download report.
- January 19th 2021: The Coordination team is working with SciAni to design a bespoke animation to introduce the nine BPD projects. We can release a teaser image of this exciting animation.
Watch this space for more :)
- January 5th 2021: Schedule released for an external seminar series focused on Xylella virtually hosted by the University of California, Berkerley. Full details and sign up information can be found here.
