Thanks to BSPP and Wiley for making the review free access which will undoubtedly enable easier access across the world and help realise further the objectives of the review.

Great step to bring awareness about addressing global hunger as plant pests and diseases cause massive crop losses and leave millions without enough food. fao.org/newsroom/detai…

Pandemics aren’t just for humans. They can sweep through the plant world too: devastating diseases carried by the interconnected infrastructure of global capitalism to wreak havoc on undefended flora, often with terrible consequences. | By @joe_zadeh noemamag.com/rise-of-the-pl…

Equally true for other major potato growing regions like India.

bbc.com/news/world-asi… Historic day for India. Jai Hind!

The International Potato Center (CIP) and the Govt. of India is setting up CIP- SAARC Center in India, the 2nd largest potato producer in the world. Hopefully, it will enable better focus on the epidemic, causing late blight disease having socioeconomic consequences for farmers.

Our recent publication tracks invasive pathogen populations of potato's devastating late blight disease, Phytophthora infestans, over 14 years in Asia and compares it to the European source populations providing insights for the management of the pathogen. apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PH…

Late blight disease remains the most significant challenge to potato production worldwide, especially in Asia, the largest producer. Our latest publication tinyurl.com/4eukwmpa explains how, despite the pathogen not surviving between seasons, late blight reappears in the new

Pleased to share that our recent publication in Phytopathology (tiny.cc/4djw001), which identifies the origin and conduit of late blight disease of potato in the Indian plains through asymptomatic seed potatoes, has been awarded an Editor’s Pick in the current issue of
