  1. CMS College Scientists Forge Predictive Virus Pathway

    CMS College scientists made a new tool to guess when viruses might jump from animals to people. It checks protein shells to find risky viruses early.

  2. This new virus prediction tool from CMS College could help scientists find dangerous viruses faster than before. It looks at virus shells instead of the whole virus.

  3. From #yogurt to yield: Potential applications of #LacticAcidBacteria in plant production

    by John R. Lamont, Olivia Wilkins, Margaret Bywater-Ekegärd, Donald L. Smith
    Published August, 2017

    Highlights
    • Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used for decades to improve plant growth.
    • The plant - LAB relationship has yet to be fully characterized.
    • LAB can serve as biofertilizers, biocontrols, biostimulants, and bioelicitors.

    Abstract:
    "Ferments containing lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been used for decades in agricultural systems to improve soils, control disease and promote plant growth, however, the functional roles of LAB in the phytomicrobiome have yet to be discovered. An understanding of the symbiotic relationship between plants and LAB could be exploited to improve agricultural plant production.

    "Scientific investigations to validate plant growth promoting properties of LAB are increasing in number and scope. LAB isolated from diverse sources have been shown to be effective biofertilizers, biocontrol agents, biostimulants. As biofertilizers, LAB can improve nutrient availability from compost and other organic material. In fermented food, LAB has served as an effective biocontrol agent; recently LAB have been shown to be effective in the control of a wide variety of fungal and bacterial phytopathogens. As biostimulants, LAB can directly promote plant growth or seed germination, as well as alleviating various abiotic stresses.

    "In this review, we discuss the history and ecology of plants and LAB, appraise the available information on the use of LAB in improving plant production, and consider the limitations and potential new directions for the use of LAB in plant agriculture."

  8. Hey, can anyone identify this? I think it's some sort of gall, and i think it's on an alder. It's heavy, about the size of my fist, and on the ends of branches or at joins, and there are several on one tree and more in a nearby tree. Any thoughts?

  12. New Study Unlocks Molecular Defense Against Devastating Potato Pathogen (Spongospora subterranea)

    A team of plant scientists has made a significant breakthrough in understanding how potato plants defend themselves against Spongospora subterranea f. sp. subterranea (Sss)—the soilborne pathogen that causes powdery scab, an emerging and economically damaging disease affecting potato crops worldwide.

  14. Friends, we need help! 🍅 Our tomatoes in #Kabumbi planted for a dear grandmother are dying from a strange #tomato disease. We've tried treating it but still failing. It's hurting our #FightHunger project. If anyone knows how to help, please share advice 🙏. Let's save this small garden and support our elder! #CommunitySupport #YouthInAgri #PlantHealth #GreenAfrica #UgandaEcoYouthsNetwork

  19. Climate change and globalization raise risks from crop pests

    Climate change and globalization are driving a surge in threats to crops from insects and mites, researchers say. Rising temperatures are enabling pests to move further from the equator and to higher ground, while increased trade is accelerating the spread of invasive species.
