Funded #PhD studentship available in our group to explore how plant parasitic nematodes regulate their food uptake in the presence of competing root colonisers. Apply by 3rd February 2023! phd.leeds.ac.uk/project/1495…

Great job by Chris Bell at #ICN2022 describing his work with potato, AMF and potato cyst nematodes. AMF colonisation enhances both plant and nematode fitness. @KatieField4 @EmilyMagk

Exactly 2 years since our last in-person “Friday Cakes” and the lab teapot and home baking (courtesy of Mirela) finally make a return 🙂🍰

The members of the Plant Nematology Lab would like to show our appreciation and say a big 👏Thank You 👏 to our post docs Catherine and Chris for the continual wisdom, support and cakes they provide to all of the research group #NPAW2020 #N8Postdocs

First time in the lab for almost 5 months & it shows! Just managed to catch this gel before it ran off the ‘top’....🤦🏻‍♀️

Just come back from a walk and sad to see how many trees were affected and how badly. Sample collected and now waiting to see how many leaf miner moths and parasitoids emerge. Results in ~2 weeks!
