On 25 February 2016, a group of scientific societies, companies, research institutes, and governmental agencies launched the Phytobiomes Roadmap presenting a new vision for agriculture to increase health, productivity, and sustainability of our current cropping and forest systems.
The largest gathering of plant health professionals worldwide will take place during the joint annual meeting of the American Phytopathological Society (APS), Canadian Phytopathological Society (CPS), and the Mycological Society of America (MSA). The joint meeting will be held July 29-August 2, 2006, at the Centre des Congrès de Québec, Québec City, Québec, Canada.
The deadline to apply for the Plant Pathology Journalism Award has been extended to April 21, 2006.
Plant pathologists report that citrus greening is spreading faster than expected and encourage growers and homeowners to aid in the detection process by alerting the appropriate agricultural officials if they suspect they have infected trees.
New research just released suggests that weeds commonly found in California's wine country may enable the spread of Pierce's disease of grapes, one of the most destructive plant diseases affecting grapes.
The recent discovery of citrus greening in samples collected from trees in South Florida poses a definite threat to Florida's $9 billion commercial citrus industry. Proper identification and eradication methods are needed to reduce the amount of crop loss caused by this disease, say plant pathologists.
Find out the latest information on plant diseases that are significantly affecting the economy and the environment at a news conference. The conference will be held during the APS Annual Meeting. Citrus Canker, Bacterial Wilt, Plum Pox, Sudden Oak Death, and Soybean Rust will be discussed.
The way aquatic plants respond to plant disease and climate change may have applications for managing land-based agriculture, say plant pathologists with The American Phytopathological Society (APS).
In response to the discovery of soybean rust in the U.S., plant pathologists are offering an opportunity to learn more about this disease at a symposium held during the annual meeting of The American Phytopathological Society, July 30 "“ August 3, 2005 in Austin, TX.
The use of endophytes, non-harmful fungi, bacteria, or viruses that naturally grow inside plants, is an emerging tool for managing plant diseases, say plant pathologists.
Science-based identification of mold and other causes of Sick Building Syndrome may improve its management, say plant pathologists with The American Phytopathological Society (APS).
On July 30 - August 3, 2005, thousands of plant pathologists (plant disease experts) from across the world will gather at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas for the 2005 American Phytopathological Society (APS) Annual Meeting.
Throughout history, there have been many famines and epidemics as a result of disease. What if they were caused deliberately? Many people are aware of the threat of biological weapons directed towards people, but few realize the potential dire effects of crop bioterrorism, the use of pathogens to cause a food crop epidemic or contamination of our food supply.
For the first time in history, scientists now have the complete blueprint of the genetic information that makes an animal. British and American scientists announced in the 1998 December 11th issue of Science that they completed the sequencing of the whole genome of the tiny soil-dwelling, free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans.
