Happy to share our recent article on the on-site identification of specific varieties of oyster mushrooms. rdcu.be/eNcBl
LAMP was used to distinguish the varieties SPOPPO and ALLERPO. To improve the specificity of LAMP it was combined with CRISPR-Cas.

Finally ready! Our new article on the effect of soil treatments on the soil #microbiome and Pratylenchus penetrans in a long-term experiment link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Effects of several long-term soil health treatments on populations of Pratylenchus penetrans and the soil microbial community - Biology and Fertility of Soils
Soil suppressiveness can reduce the damage by plant parasitic nematodes (PPN) in agricultural soils and is conveyed by the activity of soil microorganisms. While natural suppressiveness has been repor...

Hi everybody!
I was wondering if there is anybody out there with experience in working with true potato seeds? I am looking to set-up a project on this topic, but there is not much expertise in my department.
