The forest pathology theme continued this week as I joined @eterhone.bsky.social and other @luke.fi forest pathologists for an inspection of a forest regeneration site. Learning about forestry, forest pests and pathogens, and more ❤️ #ClimateAdapation #HorizonEurope #Lakkakääpä @mip4adapt.bsky.social

Gremmeniella abietina digging into its porridge 🍽️ Trying to coax it into sporulating for our plant protection trials! Seems like it’s loving this substrate - growing well! #mätäs #surmakka #versosurma #scotspine @luke.fi

Fungi of the day! Gremmeniella abietina! Woken up from minus 80 degrees (from quite old collection). Luckily we have excellent strain collevtion, as it seems to be difficult to find in the forest nowadays. #forestpathology #mätäs #metsäpatologia #versosurma @luke.fi

Our Trichoderma screening against pathogens is well underway! So many strains and species to test - placing high bets on discovering a new biocontrol champ! #MÄTÄS #nursery @luke.fi @annapoimala.bsky.social #metsäpatologiseikkailee

Today, we kicked off experiments with some *top-secret* ingredients to explore novel alternatives to chemical plant protection in nurseries. Will they be game-changers??? Stay tuned for results! #MÄTÄS @luke.fi @annapoimala.bsky.social #birch #phytophthora

Spring has arrived in our lab! We’ve woken up the birch seedlings for our ”MÄTÄS” project, testing new alternatives to chemical plant protection against Phytophthora! #forestpathology #nurseryproduction #healthyseedlings #mixedforest @luke.fi

STSM Report of the Week 🌿
Virulence genes of Diplodia sapinea triggered by abiotic stress using RNA-seq and DGE analyses. New mycoviruses were identified froM RNA-seq data, adding fresh insights into the pathogen's world.

Methyl jasmonate boosts disease resistance in some broad-leaf trees—but not all! Experiments show it protects Castanea sativa, Quercus ilex, Q. suber, and Ulmus minor, while Q. robur and Fraxinus excelsior see no benefit. Timing and dosage make all the difference!

Check out how Diplodia sapinea emerge in Finland! Funded by Alfred Kordelin Foundation #suuretkulttuurihankkeet & @LukeFinland We used citizen science to gather samples! My favourite pathogen 😅
