There is considerable scope for the continued expansion in UK soft fruit production as currently supply cannot meet demand. id=114 Thu, 11 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=111 Inventory research in tropical countries aimed at helping make informed conservation policies. id=111 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=112 Research relevant to understanding how tropical vegetation will change in different climates. id=112 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=110 This science brief describes two strategies that have been effective to differing degrees in the reduction of methane production from ruminants. id=110 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=100 Malignant Catarrhal Fever (MCF) is a fatal disease of cattle with clinical signs that resemble mucosal disease and foot-and-mouth (FMD). MCF pathology resembles human autoimmune conditions like celiac disease and so advances in our understanding of MCF may have benefits for these conditions. id=100 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=109 Learning a lot about a little, or a little about a lot? id=109 Tue, 26 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=108 Plant disease control can take many forms and at SCRI we have recently expanded this area to include colonisation of plants by human pathogenic bacteria. Food-borne pathogens pose a serious threat to food safety in the UK. The government recognises that in rich countries, people are more likely to die of food poisoning than of starvation. id=108 Mon, 25 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=102 Research analysing the impacts of a scientific advance that improves animal welfare, upon the environment and trade in Scotland using partial equilibrium (PE) modelling. id=102 Fri, 22 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=99 Looking at alternative approaches to controlling crop disease. id=99 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=98 Workers at SCRI and SASA have teamed up to develop an improved molecular diagnostic for potato cyst nematodes (PCN) using the latest technology. id=98 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=97 A look at labour use on sheep farms and its effect on productivity, profit and animal welfare. id=97 Fri, 18 Dec 2009 00:00:00 GMT http://www.knowledgescotland.org/briefings.php?id=96 The potato cyst nematode, Globodera pallida, is a serious problem for growers in Scotland and in all major potato growing regions of the world. id=96 Thu, 26 Nov 2009 00:00:00 GMT
