A novel, unbiased approach to plant viral disease diagnosis has been developed which
requires no a priori knowledge of the host or pathogen. Next‐generation sequencing coupled …

Plant pests and diseases impact both food security and natural ecosystems, and the impact
has been accelerated in recent years due to several confounding factors. The globalisation …

Malic enzyme (ME; NADP+-dependent; EC 1 . 1 . 1 . 40) has been postulated to be the rate-limiting
step for fatty acid biosynthesis in oleaginous fungi in which the extent of lipid …

Environmental DNA ( eDNA ) analysis is a rapid, cost‐effective, non‐invasive biodiversity
monitoring tool which utilises DNA left behind in the environment by organisms for species …

The diagnosis of novel unidentified viral plant diseases can be problematic, as the conventional
methods such as real‐time PCR or ELISA may be too specific to a particular species or …

… The samples were tested by real-time PCR as described in Adams et al.(2013). By this …
analysed using MEGAN as previously reported to generate draft genomes (Adams et al., 2013). …

Many laboratories maintain historical collections of preserved plant virus isolates that store a
wealth of untapped data, including original type isolates, studied in the pre‐sequencing era…

Angiogenesis is characterised by activation, migration and proliferation of endothelial cells
and is central to the pathology of cancer, cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation. …

Internal necrosis of carrot has been observed in UK carrots for at least 10 years, and has been
anecdotally linked to virus infection. In the 2009 growing season some growers had up to …

High throughput sequencing informed diagnostics is revolutionising plant pathology. The
application of this technology is most advanced in plant virology, where it is already becoming …
