American Agriculturist’s article about our research “The severity of a #FireBlight outbreak is determined by the interaction of resistance genes in the #Apples, the growth stage of host trees, the genetics of the fire blight pathogen strain & environment” farmprogress.com/crop-protec…

Genetics used to fight fire blight

A project in New York is developing fire blight-resistant apples.

Pollen for crosses. Collect blossom clusters @ pink. With a sharp blade slice thru the blossom about 1/3 the way up the sepal. Sieve thru a screen. Ripen until dehiscent w/warm light. When pollen is observed the anthers/pollen can be placed in a pill bottle for the field.

Will my fascination with #GeneticDiversity ever go away? This single picture takes me to the imagination and stories about nature, human history, & culture from east Asia, Central Asia to Caucasus, Europe to North America! #CropWildRelatives #Apples

Mooie appelstruik op (matig) sterke onderstam met breed open vaasmodel. Goede bereikbaarheid, rijke oogsten en weinig ziektes. Zou wat mij betreft prima voor extensieve biofruitproductie door kunnen! #snoeikunst #fruitbomen #snoeien #duurzaamheid

Defoliation trial. Untreated trees in 1st photo and various treatments after that. Prior work has shown these treatments to result in accelerated natural senescence, complete with nutrient remobilization into the buds and increased cold tolerance.
