Professor Rebecca Ford from Griffith University is our keynote speaker, discussing 'The power of electrochemical biosensors in Botrytis Grey Mould pathogen diagnostics' rebecca ford #plantdisease #griffithuniversity Plant Pathogens (APPS) TUNE IN NOW VIA ZOOM: usq.zoom.us/j/89381742568

When your diagnostic lab can fit in a suitcase😉 You can connect the instruments up to a car for power. Just one of the many cool things about being a field pathologist! Tune in to Prof Ford's keynote on biosensors: usq.zoom.us/j/89381742568 rebecca ford Griffith University

So we've learnt about tech for DETECTING plant disease, what about tech for MANAGING disease? ON NOW: Dr Anne Sawyer Anne Sawyer Advance QLD Fellow from UQ Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences is presenting the application of 'RNAi vaccines' for protecting crops against plant disease➡️usq.zoom.us/j/89381742568

The 'RNAi vaccine' is delivered via a BioClay spray and is an environmentally friendly way of protecting crops from specific plant pathogens which cause disease. Learn more about its application with Dr Anne Sawyer Anne Sawyer ON NOW via Zoom⬇️ usq.zoom.us/j/89381742568

RNAi for crop protection has demonstrated efficacy for a number of viruses, fungal pathogens and insects. Check out some of the studies and tune in to Dr Anne Sawyer's research here⬇️ usq.zoom.us/j/89381742568 Anne Sawyer UQ Chemistry and Molecular Biosciences QLD Alliance for Agriculture & Food Innovation Plant Pathogens (APPS) @DAFQld
