Wageningen scientists discover how the potato blight pathogen penetrates the plant

In the 19th century, the notorious pathogen Phytophthora infestans caused a large famine in Ireland and other parts of Western Europe. To this day, it continues to pose a major threat to global food production. It has long been a mystery how this microscopically small organism and other members of the Phytophthora genus mechanically gain entry through the protective layer on the leaves of crops. In a unique collaboration, Wageningen University & Research experts in plant pathology, cell biology and physics have now found an answer to this question. Their discovery also provides new leads to making the control of Phytophthora more effective, more efficient and more sustainable on the long term. Their findings are published in Nature Microbiology.

France to Ban Shredding and Gassing of Male Chicks

The culling of male chicks will be outlawed next year in France, Agriculture Minister Julien Denormandie announced. Each year 50 million male chicks are killed by being shredded, or gassed with carbon monoxide because they don't produce eggs nor grow as large as female chicks. This initiative comes after years of pushback by animal welfare groups.
