Discovery may open door to
new medicines
Bio-Protection Research Centre scientists and collaborators have made a discovery that potentially opens the door to new medicines and biological pesticides.
In work that began with a PhD thesis, and continued through postdoctoral work, they have shown that scientists have been missing potential new drugs and biopesticides, dismissing the genes that make them as non-functional variants. Read more...

Pine needle blight pathogen gets weaker in New Zealand
New Zealanders are used to hearing about plant diseases that arrive here and wreak havoc.
But for the first time, a New Zealand study has revealed that one introduced plant pathogen appears to have become weaker since it arrived here 50 years ago – possibly to make sure it doesn’t kill off its host.
The Dothistroma septosporum fungus, which infects pine trees, first appeared in New Zealand in the 1960s. It causes Dothistroma needle blight, one of the worst foliar diseases of pine trees worldwide.
Infected trees lose their needles, grow more slowly, and can even die. Read more...

Cultural values are important to forest stakeholders
Māori and non-Māori value different aspects of plantation forestry, which owners should bear in mind if they want to maximise their social licence to operate, a new study shows.
In a paper published in the international journal PLoS ONE, titled “Stakeholder valuation of soil ecosystem services from New Zealand’s planted forests”, the authors say understanding these values should also help in developing an assessment and monitoring tool for soil health in New Zealand’s planted forests.

Study shows pathogens lurking in farm and forest soil
Cutting-edge science has revealed for the first time what microbes are lurking in our soil – and that there are many more harmful ones on farms and in plantation forests than in natural forests.
In his PhD research with the Bio-Protection Research Centre, based at Lincoln University, and Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research, Andi Makiola studied how land uses such as farming and plantation forestry affected the variety of plant pathogens in the soil and on plant leaves and roots.

BPRC rebid proposes new direction for 2021
Late last year the BPRC, along with all other Centres of Research Excellence, submitted its rebid proposal for funding from 2021.
Building on the excellent work of the BPRC, we have proposed a new entity – Bioprotection Aotearoa – integrating scientific research within a Māori values framework (Taiao), to create unique knowledge that supports our ecosystems and agriculture. Read more...

Can we wait for policy makers to act on climate change?
Rosie Bradshaw doesn’t think so after attending the 25th world congress of the International Union of Forest Research Organisations, held in Brazil in September.
Read her report on the presentations, including one session on Phytophthora, and what they mean for how we can mitigate climate change.

Prof Jason Tylianakis, has been awarded the University of Canterbury’s Research Medal, one of the highest awards the University Council can bestow. The University’s Head of Biological Sciences Professor Matthew Turnbull said Jason had had “probably the most rapid career trajectory in the University of Canterbury’s history”.
Prof Steve Wratten, Lincoln University, was recently one of 10 entomologists worldwide named as 2019 fellows of the Entomological Society of America.
Prof Barry Scott won the Exceptional Research Citizenship Whaowhia Ngā Kete o Te Wānanga Award at Massey University’s annual awards ceremony in August, and to Peter Kemp, who won the Research Supervisor Award.
