Hear about the work of Shannon Greer - including using crop diversity in the search for methods of control of Xanthamonas, a bacterial plant pathogen. A large amount of the material screened originated from our collection! #PlantHealthDay #PlantHealthWeek
Looking forward to being Kenilworth Show on 4th June. Our theme Life Sciences Sustainability at Warwick is 'diversity' and we'll be focusing on crop diversity UKVGB, biodiversity University of Warwick campuses and soil Warwick MSc AgriFood. There'll be some 'hands on' activities🥕🦋🌱

We love brassica vegetables - so much so we have several thousand samples conserved! Thank you to The Crop Trust and many partners for the #cropstrategies
We're looking forward to hearing and talking about all things carrot, including our seed collections III Carrot and Other Apiaceae Symposium in York 🥕🥕🥕 #CarrotSymposium2023
It's #PlantHealthWeek - we've written a short blog for Warwick Crop Centre explaining how genebanks support healthier crops. Take a look at warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/lifesc…
