Update from the Ralstonia phage project by Sara Franco Ortega showing very promising results for the use of phages to control disease.
It's that time of year for undergrads to apply for a summer studentship. There's plenty of planty ones out there, like this one from South Coast Biosciences DTP. Lots more options on our website too plantsciencefutures.org.uk/work-experienc… #undergraduate #studentship #summerresearch #SoCoBio
Check out the fabulous Bacterial Plant Diseases Programme 2020-24 research summaries, including ours on the use of phages to control the bacterial wilt pathogen 𝘙𝘢𝘭𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘪𝘢 𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘤𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘶𝘮!
