Anniversary Congress, “Interconnecting Forests, Science and People” will
be held in Freiburg (Germany) on 19-22th September 2017.
I encourage to those working with /Fusariu//m circinatum/ to submit an
abstract to the Special *Session 300, “Pine pitch canker - strategies
for management of /Gibberella circinata/ in greenhouses and forests”*.
Additional information about how to submit the abstracts is written
below. A selection of the abstracts will be invited to participate in
the "Forests" (SCI 1,5) Special Issue we are planning before the meeting.
Looking forward to seeing you in Freiburg!

*_Description of the Session
_*
/Fusarium circinatum /(teleomorph: /Gibberella circinata/) was first
detected in North America, since when the pathogen has spread into
Central and South America, South Africa, Asia and, more recently,
Europe. /F. circinatum/ is now considered the most important pathogen
affecting /Pinus /seedlings and mature trees in many countries globally;
asymptomatic seedlings may be planted out, resulting in very serious
losses in forests.

The EMPHASIS
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/stakeholder-dialogue-to-foster-investment-in-a…>
project would like to invite you to our new * webinar series*, which will
be launched *at the end of this month*.
The first webinar ‘*In-field diagnostics – the Genie and the LAMP’
<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/in-field-diagnostics-the-genie-and-the-lamp-ti…>
will be held on the 30th of November 2016 (15:00 CET).* The session will be
delivered by Fera <http://fera.co.uk/index.cfm>, to introduce LAMP
(loop-mediated
isothermal amplification) technology and its use for plant disease early
detection. LAMP is a DNA amplification technology which enables rapid and
sensitive detection and when run on the Genie III platform enables
detection of pests and diseases outside of the laboratory at any point in
the agri-food chain where decisions are being made.
Target audience are research students, researchers, agri-business and
forestry experts, farmers and foresters and any other person interested in
being introduced to this portable molecular diagnostic tools on plant
diseases.
The webinar is *free of charge* and places are limited, therefore
registrations will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

We would be very thankful if you would help us by sharing this webinar
among your contacts that might be interested.
We thank you in advance for your interest and cooperation with this project.
Best regards,
