See what projects I have been involved in, where I've worked and glimpse some of the outcomes of my work. I am trying to post on a semi-regular basis depending on how busy I am and if anything noteworthy has happened. If you are interested by my posts then do subscribe to my blog using the subscribe link in the menu to the right. See also my reports and my photography pages under the links section for more.
Field experiment
Finally I am having some success at inoculating my field experiment. Here is a graph showing my initial data. There are significant differences between species and between cultivars and as expected P. syringae (7) is the most aggressive pathogen so far.
This photo shows a Rhododendron inoculated with Phytophthora syringae as part of my field experiment. You can see how the infection has spread aerially by rain splash to near by leaves and has dripped down on to the two leaves below the inoculated leaf.
