      <image:caption>Bacteriophage are ideal candidates for sustainable crop protection, with the potential to make a significant contribution towards improving UK agriculture’s productive efficiency and drive towards net zero production. The technology can be applied to any bacterial pathogen/contaminant situation and we have a pipeline of solutions across the agricultural and horticultural sectors, with solutions ranging from initial candidate selection, through trials and ongoing regulatory consideration.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Professor Martha Clokie PhD, University of Leicester Martha has published widely in the field of the ecology and molecular biology of bacteriophage and their interactions with their hosts. She has a particular interest in the exploitation of bacteriophage for improved therapeutics and diagnostics, together with the determination of the molecular basis of successful interactions between bacteriophage and their hosts; an area in which she works closely with APS on. She also acts widely as an international bacteriophage expert; e.g. member of the Advisory Council of the PhageBiotics Foundation (USA) and the bacteriophage classification study group for ICTV.</image:caption>

He works closely with APS on the direction of the bacteriophage R&amp;D in relation to this disease. He has undertaken research on blackleg disease for over 30 years and has worked extensively with the potato industry, including those partners above. He currently leads AHDB- and Scottish Government-funded projects involving these and other academic and industry partners. His was one of the first to isolate bacteriophage to the blackleg pathogen.</image:caption>
