A life in plant disease identification - Charles Lane

When it comes to studying plant diseases, the field of plant pathology can involve many different, often overlapping, aspects including pathogen identification, disease etiology, disease cycles, economic impact, epidemiology, disease resistance, the effect on humans and animals, genetics, management and policy. Having dedicated over 20 years of his life to studying plant diseases, Charles Lane currently works at Fera Science Ltd where he helps businesses, farmers, growers and even botanic gardens identifiy and deal with disease outbreaks. While there are numerous modern ways to identify certain pathogens, Chalres prides himself on being a traditional pathologist, being able to quickly identify the symptoms and causes of a particular plant disease. 0:00 Intro to Charles 0:13 Traditional plant pathology - identifying plant diseases 1:08 Ash Dieback and public engagement 2:05 Working with botanic gardens 3:10 A career pathway into plant pathology 5:10 The importance of outreach & public engagement Speaker profile: Charles has spent the past 20 years identifying fungal plant diseases both indigenous and alien to the UK.
