作者簡介


Paul Beales, Animal and Plant Health Agency, John Elphinstone, Fera Science Ltd., Adrian Fox, Fera Science Ltd., Charles Lane, Fera Science Ltd., Derek McCann, Animal and Plant Health Agency, Tim Lacey, , Julian Little, Bayer

Dr Paul Beales grew up in the countryside and had a fascination for biology from an early age. He studied biology in his first degree at Bristol, where he became fascinated with plant diseases, and went on to study a new disease of rhododendrons for his PhD. Following his PhD, Paul joined a government laboratory as a mycology (fungal) diagnostician where he had opportunities to design, develop, and use latest techniques to identify plant pathogens (a kind of forensics for plants), to train plant pathologists around the world, to discover and publish brand new diseases and communicate fungal plant diseases through journals, radio and TV appearances. After 16 years in the lab, Paul moved to work with the UK’s PHSI - the front line force that protects our environment through inspection services. Here he plays a big part in raising awareness of plant pests and diseases to everyone from school children to landowners, helping protect our environment for future generations.

Dr John Elphinstone specialises in the detection, ecology and control of plant pathogenic bacteria. He has a BSc in Plant Science from Newcastle University and a PhD from Dundee, where he investigated pathways of infection of seed potatoes by bacteria. Following 5 years at the International Potato Centre in Peru, he spent a period at Rothamsted Research before moving to Fera Science Ltd, where he has been based for the last 25 years. John has continued in his role as researcher in plant bacteriology and has regularly consulted with government and the EU on development and implementation of policy on monitoring and eradication of quarantine bacteria. John is a member of the EPPO panel on diagnosis of plant pathogenic bacteria and a founding member of the European Association of Phytobacteriologists. He manages research projects on bacterial pathogens of plants and mushrooms, as well as working on understanding the biological diversity of soils in relation to plant health and productivity.

Adrian Fox is the Principal Plant Virologist at Fera Science Ltd. His work includes providing a plant virus diagnostic service and consultancy to the UK Government plant health service. He also conducts scientific research which includes improving virus detection methods, plant virus discovery and virus transmission. Adrian leads a team which has been responsible for discovering and describing dozens of previously unknown plant viruses.Although most of his work is focussed on UK plant biosecurity, he also contributes to projects working on food security in Africa. Adrian really enjoys these projects, where applied plant pathology can make real and immediate improvements to people’s lives and livelihoods. Adrian is a member of the International Committee on Plant Virus Epidemiology, and has published more than 30 scientific papers, new disease reports, and book chapters.

Dr Charles Lane studied Biology at the University of East Anglia for his first degree, and then completed a PhD in mushroom pathology at Sheffield University. Since then, for over 25 years Charles has worked in plant health and biosecurity, investigating the causes of new and emerging plant health diseases. For example, he was the first person to identify Phytophthora ramorum, the oomycete that causes sudden oak death, in the UK. In his role as a plant health consultant he has worked widely with government, NGOs, industry, voluntary groups and citizens in developing good biosecurity practice and raising awareness of plant health issues. He has also been leading the skills agenda for Defra and the Government Office of Science, developing a new programme of work to inspire the next generation of plant health scientists.

Derek McCann studied Agriculture at Plymouth University, moving on to short stints in research and farming. Derek has since spent most of his career helping to hold the line to protect the plants of the UK so that we have food to eat, gardens to enjoy and woods to walk in. He started as a front line inspector in the North West of England before moving onto regional and national roles. As Principal Plant Health & Seeds Inspector Derek currently leads on designing and delivering plant health surveys across the UK. He is also actively involved when notifiable pests & disease outbreaks are discovered in horticulture, agriculture and the wider environment. Whilst we all have a role to play in plant biosecurity, Derek particularly appreciates the trust and responsibility the APHA are given as regulators working for the public good.

Dr Julian Little took a degree in Biochemistry at University of Swansea and then a PhD in how plants recognise (and do something about) the fact that they are being attacked by a fungus. He then started working as a plant scientist in Rhone-Poulenc, developing understanding of how weed-killers kill plants. Having worked in France, he returned to the UK as a project leader both in Rhone-Poulenc and then Aventis CropScience. When the latter was bought by Bayer, Julian switched to science communication, and he is currently the Head of Communication and Government Affairs for Bayer Crop Science. Julian has a lifelong fascination with plants and passionately believes that it is possible to produce both high quality affordable food, and promote wildlife in our countryside. He was recently elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Biology.
