Thrilled to host my good friend and former labmate ... we’re walking through the history of molecular bio, starting with the “Maniatis bible” translated to Russian, first vectors and “bucket PCR”... lab work prior to just “Google it” and kits 😉

This season, the following species are not permitted at any of the Northern California scion exchanges: almond, plum, plumcot, pluot, cherry-plum, apricot, and aprium. The plum bud gall mite (PBGM) Acalitus phloeocoptes is the culprit. Asymptomatic wood could be infected too.

This also applies to all hybrids between plums and apricots, and to almonds. For now the infected trees are found in Santa Clara, San Mateo and Alameda counties.

These are the pictures of plum mite galls I took today at Prusch Park in San Jose. The agricultural inspector was on site and he was labeling infected trees in the orchard. We should be checking the plum and apricot wood as we pick it during the exchanges and before grafting.

Between 1271 and 1275, Marco Polo famously explored the overland journey from Europe to Cathay—on what would later be named “the Silk Road.” Today, the route has a much more complicated significance,, which is explored in a new book.
