This is the second part of our interview with Ed Conway, Sky News Economics Editor, author of Trade World and Material World. The first part is out on all platforms. ---- Ed Conway on Trade Wars, Bread Monocultures, and the Fragile Supply Chains Behind Modern Life Sky News Economics editor Ed Conway discusses his book Trade World, based on two years of research into how bread, cars, and textiles are made and traded, arguing globalization has made goods cheaper by concentrating production into a few places, creating dangerous vulnerabilities. He highlights monocultures in crops such as wheat and bananas, focusing on the wheat disease UG99 and how industrial bread relies on just one or two wheat varieties, drawing parallels to the Gros Michel banana collapse and risks to the Cavendish. This is the first part of our interview with Ed. The second part drops later this week. Watch the full interview on YouTube here.

In this episode, former Plantopia host, Jim Bradeen, joins host Matt Kasson to discuss the origins and current state of APS's Plant Health podcast. In addition to providing a behind the scenes look of putting together a single episode, they also discuss some of their favorite memories and where they see the podcast headed as the search for a new host / co-host gets underway. *show notes * Featured episodes Going Viral: https://www.plantopiapodcast.org/64 Plant Pathology 101: https://www.plantopiapodcast.org/47 Of Peeps and People…and Plant Pathology: https://www.plantopiapodcast.org/25 Arms Race Part 1: Ug99: https://www.plantopiapodcast.org/1 This episode is produced by Association Briefings.

Как сделать 2020-й год еще хуже? Докатиться до масштабной эпидемии зерновых. В 1999 году в Уганде обнаружили новый штамм стеблевой ржавчины Ug99, который начал распространяться по континенту и мигрировать на север. Говорим с заведующей лабораторией фитопаталогии "Института защиты растений", кандидатом биологических наук Натальей Крупенько о болезнях растений.Таймлайн00:38 — Что такое Институт защиты растений и чем он занимается?02:55 — Есть ли элемент детектива в работе «доктора для растений»? С кем, чем и как работают специалисты?05:45 — Чем болеют растения: низшие грибы и их особенности.06:53 — Можно ли проводить параллели между болезнями растений и человека?08:02 — Какие болячки чаще всего приносят? К чему они приводят? И способны ли эти болячки вызывать болезни у человека?10:21 — Проблема баланса в обработке посевов химией. Она существует?12:22 — Благодаря чему удалось добиться высокой урожайности в мире после 50-х годов прошлого века?13:35 — Как борются с эпидемиями (эпифитотиями) в растительном царстве? Есть параллели с эпидемиями в царстве людей?16:42 — Возможны ли масштабные эпидемии зерновых в наше время? И какую угрозу, помимо голода, они несут?19:04 — Изменение климата привело к появлению новых болезней в Беларуси? Вспышки желтой ржавчины и угроза угандийской заразы.23:45 — Существует ли сценарий использования растительных болезней в качестве биологического оружия?Музыка в выпуске:Lee Rosevere - Telecom 12 extended remixAnd So It Begins by Artificial.Music https://soundcloud.com/artificial-music Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/and-so-it-begins Music promoted by Audio Library https://youtu.be/JpoEFiAJdxoЯщик для связи: vo@onliner.by
The striking parallels between wheat rust and global human epidemics. Special Guest: Dave Hodson.
Matthew Rouse is the 2018 recipient of the Norman Borlaug Award for Field Research and Application. He is being recognized for his work developing new breeds of wheat that are resistant to Ug99, a devastating type of stem rust.
UG99 is a deadly disease affecting wheat and is spreading rapidly throughout the world. The IAEA is releasing resistant wheat varieties as well as providing training in mutation techniques to countries for combating its spread.
A new strain of wheat rust - known as Ug99 - is decimating wheat fields worldwide. But help could be at hand in the form of nuclear science. The Joint Division of the IAEA and the UN´s Food and Agriculture Organization has brought together experts from around the world to develop Ug99 resistant wheat varieties by using radiation to induce mutations in seeds. Louise Potterton spoke to one of the experts, William Wagoire from Uganda, who first detected the new strain.
