Going around the Batsford Arboretum. Noticed most of the pine trees have these symptoms. I think it may be Dothistroma needle blight. Any views?

Today’s colours are from the gardens of #UptonHouse Banbury.

Bath time!

It may be miserable out there but there is always something to cheer us up. Not my picture and don’t know the source, but it must be a family reunion #rainyday #TORtoises

I paused to listen to his song, then spoke to him in my own way. We were both fluent, just in different languages. At least he didn’t fly away.

Deniz Göl from Mol. Plant and Microbial Bio. delivered an excellent talk on the application of dsRNA to study downy mildew pathogens at the #ECPP24 meeting in Oxford, organised by the British Society for Plant Pathology

And that’s a wrap on #ECPP24! A big thank you to all our amazing speakers, poster presenters, and attendees. We’re sad that it’s over but we’re also excited to expand our group and welcome even more participants for #PPATH24 tomorrow! 🌱🦠

Programme manager organised some extra curricular activities

Exciting start to the BSPP Plant Pathology Conference with a great talk from the President PrestonLab Good to see so many researchers, colleagues and friends gathered to discuss the latest in plant health and disease management. #BSPP2024 #PlantPathology

Moving onto effectors with Enoch Lok Him Yuen from Tolga Bozkurt lab. They’ve identified a critical “GAP” in effector research that needs addressing #PPATH24

BSPP meeting is great but you need some help seeing phylogenetic wheels!

John john mansfield managed to navigate Oxford at #PPATH24 without his GPS—unlike his experience at the Paris conference! 🚶‍♂️

Many thanks for everything—great venue, great talks, and lovely organization. However, British Society for Plant Pathology meetings could use some entertainment! 🎶 Colleagues with musical skills, let's form 'The PPATH Band' for next year's meeting! #BSPP2024 #PPATHBand 😀 🥁 🎸
