Fishing can be one of the more relaxing ways to spend a vacation, a vacation, or just a sunny afternoon. Keep reading this article if you are excited about fishing and wish to learn how to enjoy your fishing trips even more. This article will help make fishing more exciting.
Fish who eat insects find a lot of food in these places, as they're easier to find food in, so you're more likely to get a bite there as well. Just be sure to watch out for those weeds!
When you are going out to fish on a boat, do your best to keep your floor surface as dry as you can. Dry the surface floor with a mop before venturing out into the water.
Every good angler understands the importance of sharp hook. If a hook can scratch your fingernail when dragged across it then it is good enough to use. If not, you should replace or sharpen it to catch more fish.
Fishermen should carry a scale with them on their gear. You can never tell when you might catch a trophy fish, so make sure you carry around a scale, particularly if you practice catch and release.
If you are going fishing for the first time, you need to have some knowledge of what you're doing. Do plenty of research before jumping in. There are many books out there which can give you plenty of fishing. With this information at your fingertips, you can catch some really big fish.
Search your fishing environment for areas that have deep water. They also prefer to spend time near substantial rocks or ledge formations. When you have found a good location, be sure to take note of it so that you can return in the future.
Fatten live bait the night before your fishing trip so that you can easily hook them and can attract more fish. The temperature change and additional humidity assists in fattening up the worms.
When you're planning a fishing outing, remember to have a knife that is sharp inside your tackle box. This item is very important and can become quite a problem if you will have serious problems if you forget it.Be sure to invest in a high quality knife with a sharp, sharp and a quality instrument.
Spinnerbaits are terrific lures for people one step beyond using earthworms. Bass tend to be attracted to spinnerbait, but spinnerbait is also great for catching crappie.
Cell Phone
Don't forget your basic gear when you go on a fishing trip.These basic essentials depend largely upon your location. Items like sunblock, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses. If you will be fishing in a wild area, be sure to also carry a cell phone, cell phone, and cell phone.
This article should have given you great tips to boost your fishing trip level of fun and enjoyment. Whether it is a means of relaxation or sport, fishing has a lot to offer you. Implement the tips in this article and you are sure to have more success on your next trip.

Japanese-born Masami Teraoka combines the influences of traditional Japanese art forms and American Pop art, exploiting the cultural and temporal disparities between the traditional style and the contemporary issues and ideas which form his subject matter. After training with traditional Japanese masters, Teraoka moved to Los Angeles to study Western art in 1961. From the 1970s, he began painting watercolours, and later prints, which mimicked the appearance of ukiyo-e, Japanese woodblock prints of the Edo Period (1615-1868). In these works, he creates scenes using characters from Kabuki theatre, geisha and samurai, recreating the characteristic dramatic landscapes of the prints, and incorporating cartouches and calligraphy. Teraoka draws on an affinity between these 'floating world' prints, which were mass-produced for an emerging bourgeois market, and the work of the Pop artists, who celebrated mass-production and low forms of culture.
With these works, Teraoka aims for what he terms a 'metaphorical' rather than physical representation of reality. He says:
'Mere depiction of social and cultural issues is not enough. My work has to create something that goes beyond simple perception. To make a strong statement, art needs timeless aesthetic qualities. These can take any subject matter to a higher level of experience. That is the essence of what I am pursuing.' (Paintings by Masami Teraoka, 1996, p.55.)
This is one of four large prints that make up the portfolio Hawaii Snorkel Series, produced under the supervision of Kenneth E. Tyler over a period of two years from May 1991 to May 1993. Teraoka combined woodblock techniques with etching and aquatint. While the distinct black lines in traditional ukiyo-e are achieved through overprinting with a second wooden block, at Tyler's suggestion Teraoka used etching and aquatint on a copper plate to achieve a similar effect and a further range of tonal areas.
Like all Teraoka's prints, Longing Samurai combines the characteristic stylised landscape and composition of ukiyo-e prints with Teraoka's personal iconography and contemporary references. The Kunisada of the title is an ukiyo-e artist known as Toyokuni III, who appears in the centre of the picture. Teraoka depicts him visiting Hawaii in a dream. Teraoka explains the narrative:
'While he is drawing fish at Hanama Bay, he is startled by an American woman who unexpectedly stands up in front of him. He forgets the fish he was drawing and, of course, the solar eclipse he can no longer see. He is enthralled by the view and tries to hide his emotions from the blushing assistant who is preparing ink for him.' (Masami Teraoka, 1993, unpaginated.)
The text on the right edge of the image refers to the Kabuki theatre references within the print, approximately translating as: 'A new play. A scene during the American tour. Suddenly the bright day is covered and the rain begins to fall.' The characters on the scroll Kunisada is working on translate as 'drawing a swimming fish in a summer's sea.' Text on the left of the image cheekily declares the sight of the woman's scantily clad bottom as: 'A super view: better than an eclipse.' The woman is identified as 'American woman: Marabeth Cohen'.
A cartouche in the top right corner represents Yamakaya/Masami, a reference both to the artist and his family's kimono shop. Elsewhere, the date of the design for the print, 1991, and the artist's age at that time, fifty-five, are revealed. Ken Tyler, the master printmaker who supervised the production of the print in his workshop, is acknowledged with an inscription on the fan at the centre of the image.
The portfolio was produced in an edition of thirty. Proofs for this print include ten AP, four TP, two CTP, two WP, RTP, PP I, PP II, TGL Imp., and Archive.

It has been a fairly quiet week on the creative department. I spent the better parts of three days just working on binding----ugh. BUT my twister wreath is finished, just in time for show and tell at Friendship Quilters this coming Saturday.
I also got Faux RR Crossing shown in THIS post finished up as well. It still needs to be laundered to get the markings out but getting at the washing machine has been a little problematic lately---more on that later.
I have also been knitting a good bit-----my pal Cindy got me started. It knits up quickly especially if you do the German, pick knitting like I do (hold the thread and move the needle, not throwing it over for each stitch, more like crochet that way.) Oh, I learned how to do it the other way, tossing the thread for each and every stitch but somewhere along the line picked up the faster way. The only time I do it the other way, is if it is a heavily patterned row with a lot of cable twisting OR the first couple stitches on the purl row side.
I have made two like the variegated primary colored one and working on a 2nd one with this "pink camo" Red Heart Super Saver.
Cindy will get the job of sewing them together but the knitting, the fun part, is done. She sends them on to school kids in her area who are in need. She used to make mittens, she said, but you'll seldom get a kid to wear those.
I had intended to run over to WM and look for a green and/or blue variegated yard for the ones when I was out earlier this morning but time got away from me and I needed to be home to start our noon meal.
I am trying to think what else I have possibly been up to. Nothing pertaining much to sewing that is, for sure!! I was researching Christmas tree skirt patterns for my niece/godchild Allison and have that narrowed down. Originally she had seen a picture of my twister wreath and jokingly asked if I could cut a hole in the middle and make it into a tree skirt. No, much too small for that but I guess she was serious about looking for one.
I sent her some links to see what she had in mind and a crazy patch version was the one she liked the most as it would go with any color theme she might choose in the future. HERE is the pattern I'll be working on. Because it is a Christmas project, it will fit the criteria for the "Leisurely Turtle Race to Christmas with Squirrels Allowed" or LTRTCWSA challenge that my left handed pal and Linda in KS cooked up. I have some fabric pulled but primarily that was because I was still trying to figure out the tree skirt pattern that came in an old Better Homes and Garden quilt kit. You could make a small throw with the same yardage plus ornaments etc. Trust me, this stack of stuff has antiqued sufficiently though I have run off with some of it for other projects. I will happily use the fabric elsewhere for this special project.
Also my dear niece is now an engaged woman! Yep, he proposed on Halloween. Turns out he had taken her to dinner and while they were gone, someone left a pumpkin he had carved with the question "will you marry me?" (not a real pumpkin but some material that she can save his hand work). No date set yet though she did tell me she was thinking a fall wedding. Her Grandma H. has the perfect quilt presently at the long arm quilters. From what she told me, Allison has seen it and remarked that Derek would love it----a medallion with blue and white stars all around it. Derek went to the University of Kentucky and their colors are blue and white. LOL I had said "do me a favor and don't get married in the winter so I can be there" while grandma said "please don't tell me you are getting married two months from now so I can get the quilt back from the long arm quilter". Mom had said there was no rush when she dropped it off, LOL.
Anyway I'll be on the lookout for some other kind of quilty idea for a gift or shower gift but her grandparents have the wedding quilt covered. I am thrilled for them---Derek is a good guy for her and to her.
So what else? The car had to go into the shop as I thought something was smelling like it was hot and I was afraid a belt was going out. The chirp it had been making was getting louder or more frequent----turns out whatever took the place of the distributor in modern cars needed replaced---bad bearing or something. DJ and I dropped it off and then went to vote on the way home. Then another run into town to pick it up.
I had a lab work run, laundry, errands and dropped off a quilt to a friend of a friend for a project he is collecting quilts for (troubled teens and runaways in the Guntersville, AL area named Ogden House that I believe is run through the Tennessee Valley Family Services). Gene has more about this on his blog as they did this last year as well. My BQ 1 picnic fabric quilt is going to this project----it was a pay it forward project from a quilt shop in Washington State so I feel it is an appropriate site.
Of course, I stayed up way tooooo late watching the election coverage and the concession/ victory speeches. Wouldn't you know that I had accidentally set the alarm be picking up the silly thing on the very morning that I SHOULD have slept in?? Well, if not that, then the little furry alarm clock would have been rousing me anyway!
Yesterday I spent a ton of time in my kitchen. I baked some cookies to take to twister class that Marilyn was doing today at her church near here. I had some prep work to do for our noon meal today as I would not be home till about 11 or so today. I had everything ready to put in the crockpot this morning first thing for navy bean and ham soup. Beans soaking overnight etc. I must have been out in the kitchen at least 4 hours and that did not include cooking supper. DJ had gone into town earlier in the morning and I asked him to get some coconut as I did not have enough to make Pride of Iowa cookies. I thought it was the only thing I needed----well, I was a half cup short of oatmeal and had to make a quick run after all.
My kitchen is in a bit of a mess at present and will be for some time as DJ has decided to paint out kitchen cabinets. The doors have been gone for a little over a week---just long enough for me to NOT be trying to close the door when I get something out of there anymore. This is just the bonding primer stuff---stark white does not go with that wall paper in the first place and I do NOT want flat paint on this. We have discussed it for some time since we cannot afford to just replace them. If we could have, we would have when we had discovered that the bottom of the sink cabinet and the one to the lef to fit were warped from water damage.
This is not wood but that composite stuff, and it looks dated. The lower half of the room where there are no cabinets or appliances below the wall paper is green colored so the paint selection will be a hair darker than that---as close as we can get it. It should go well with the kitchen table and chairs.
So he can't paint outside on the saw horses as it is too cool out. Not above 50 when he had time to work on it. The rain threatened the other day and actually started to sprinkle on one door that had not quite dried so we had this scenario yesterday too. Obviously access is limited to both the washer and dryer but go for it---sigh. I already had the discussion with him to NOT plan on this spot till after I get a load of towels done tomorrow.
He has only concentrated on the upper part so my kitchen access has not really been a problem. I suspect that won't be too problematic till we get to the bottom cupboards and I'll have to be mindful of wet paint and my pants legs near the sink anyway. I have a feeling that it will be awhile before I can show you any after pictures, above or below.
I DID go over to help Marilyn with her twister demo/class this morning for a little while. As you know I have a few more examples of how to use the ruler than just the wreath so shared those. Marilyn had lunch planned but I needed to get home. I have not cut anything out as I had planned other than the "Tons of Black" Challenge piece and prep "Happy Halloween". Fabrics are pulled for the other project----just sitting and waiting. Absolutely no sewing this week unless you count binding. My sewing machine is apt to be getting lonely at this rate! I've frittered today away to the point that I'll be warming up that pot of soup that I finished making after lunch and making cornbread all too soon. Now I am out of the notion of doing much of anything productive. More binding?? There are two more to go. Go read and forget it?? Just do some Twin Sisters strip sets---that might be the ticket for now.
And sew it goes---------

Current California Oak Mortality Task Force Newsletter
January 2015 REPORT
(Printable COMTF Report January 2015)
A second Sudden Oak Death site was discovered in Redwood National Park in mid-September (2014) along the banks of Redwood Creek. The 5-acre site is approximately 2 miles downstream from the Bridge Creek infestation and includes infected tanoak and California bay laurel trees. It is unknown if this outbreak is a separate introduction or a jump from the Bridge Creek site. Park management is currently focused on removal of tanoak and bay to control Phytophthora ramorum spread as these two hosts support pathogen sporulation and have canopies up to 40 meters high. For more information, contact Park Vegetation Management Chief Leonel Arguello at (707) 465-7780.
In 2014, a new P. ramorum-positive waterway in Kitsap County, Washington was found positive twice from samples collected in March and May. The positive site was downstream from a previously positive nursery. Sixteen waterways in six counties were monitored in all for the pathogen from March to June (2014), with no other confirmations made.
California Stream Monitoring Program, 2014 Summary, By Heather Mehl, UC Davis – In 2014, 146 waterways in Del Norte, Humboldt, Mendocino, Monterey, and San Luis Obispo Cos. were monitored for P. ramorum. Overall, recovery from known positive watersheds was low compared to previous years, with P. ramorum detected in only 13 (54%) of 24 previously positive sites. This was likely a consequence of low spring rainfall throughout California. Recovery was lowest in Monterey (1 of 5; 20%), followed by Humboldt (6 of 12; 50%), and Mendocino Cos. (6 of 7; 86%). However, even with reduced recovery rates, the pathogen was still detected for the first time in six watersheds (three each in Humboldt and Mendocino Cos.).
In northern Humboldt Co., P. ramorum was detected for the first time in Beaver Creek, a tributary of Redwood Creek (upstream of Cookson Ranch, Redwood Valley). Watersheds monitored on Hoopa Valley and Yurok tribal lands continue to be negative, and there were no new detections in the McKinleyville area. In southern Humboldt Co., two watersheds near the southwest border of the Six Rivers NF were positive for the first time – Butte (Van Duzen watershed) and Cooper (Eel River watershed) Creeks.
Phytophthora ramorum was detected in Hollow Tree Creek (an upper tributary of the South Fork of the Eel River), northern Mendocino Co., for the first time in 2013. This detection was substantially north of previously known infestations in the county and south of known infestations in southern Humboldt Co. Phytophthora ramorum was also recovered for the first time from several drainages in the South Fork of the Noyo River watershed in Jackson Demonstration State Forest (JDSF), central Mendocino Co. In response to these finds, 2014 monitoring efforts were increased throughout northern and central Mendocino Co., adding three sites in the Angelo Coast Range Reserve and six along Hwy 1, north of Fort Bragg. None of the new sites tested positive. Waterways in JDSF continued to be intensively sampled, and P. ramorum was detected for the first time in the North Fork of the Big River and the west fork of Chamberlain Creek, both near the Camp 20 Day Use Area on Hwy 20, as well as in Hare Creek, a watershed southeast of Fort Bragg.
The Little North Fork of the Big River (LNFB), sampled in Mendocino Woodlands State Park (east of the town of Mendocino), tested P. ramorum positive for the first time in 2013. The LNFB watershed spans both Mendocino Woodlands State Park and JDSF. California State Parks personnel conducted ground surveys in this watershed in 2013, but no terrestrial infections were found. In an effort to determine the source of inoculum, two sampling sites were established in 2014 in LNFB tributaries, upstream from Mendocino Woodlands State Park campgrounds. The original site at the mouth of the LNFB tested positive again this year, but the upstream sites did not.
There were no new detections in Monterey Co. and all watersheds monitored in San Luis Obispo Co. continued to be P. ramorum negative. In 2012, P. ramorum was detected for the first time through PCR-based diagnostics in San Carpoforo Creek, a watershed spanning both Monterey and San Luis Obispo Cos. However, no samples from this watershed were positive for P. ramorum in 2013 or 2014.
Oregon Department of Agriculture P. ramorum Program, 2014 Summary - Fourteen nurseries participated in the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service P. ramorum certification program at its inception in March 2014. During spring, 2,868 samples were collected from plants, used pots, potting media, and water sources. The pathogen was detected in five nurseries infecting: Gaultheria shallon (15 plants), Rhododendron, and Rhododendron azalea 'Hahn's Red' at nursery #1; Rhododendron sp. (3 plants) and used potting media at nursery #2; Pieris taiwanensis, Pieris 'Valley Valentine', Pieris 'Valley Rose', and a retention pond at nursery #3; Rhododendron sp. (2 plants), Rhododendron 'Lost Forest Holding', and used potting media at nursery #4; and used potting media at nursery #5. The USDA Confirmed Nursery Protocol (CNP) was enacted at the nurseries. Delimitation surveys detected additional positives in two Rhododendron sp. at nursery #2 and in Pieris 'Valley Valentine,' Pieris 'Valley Rose,' and soil substrate in two areas at nursery #3.
Of the five positive nurseries identified during the spring sampling period, three nurseries (#1, #2, and #5) elected to opt-out of the federal program and ship intrastate only, one nursery (#3) opted to participate in the multistate soil steaming pilot study, and one nursery (#4) had its federal compliance agreement revoked. At Nursery #4, a Rhododendron 'Purple Lace' was found infected during the 90-day hold period. Additional positive plants (Rhododendron 'Repen x Nygo Chief,' 'Unique,' and 'Scyntillation') and contaminated soil substrate were detected during the second delimitation survey. Nursery #3 also underwent a hazard assessment after eradication activities were completed, which identified mandatory best management practices (BMPs) the nursery was required to include in their federal compliance agreement.
Phytophthora ramorum was also detected infecting two plants (Rhododendron 'Roseum Elegans' and 'Roseum 2') at a nursery during its annual general licensing inspection. The USDA CNP was enacted with no additional positive plant, soil, or water samples found. Despite the negative results, the nursery opted to fumigate the soil beneath the infected plants as a precautionary measure. The nursery is now included in the federal certification program.
Ten nurseries were surveyed for P. ramorum during the fall sampling period, with 2,016 plant, soil, and water samples collected. The pathogen was detected in two nurseries infecting Rhododendron at nursery #7 and Rhododendron at nursery #8 as well as infesting water from a retention pond there. The USDA CNP was enacted at the nurseries and additional positives were found. Nursery #7 had infected Rhododendron (eight plants), Rhododendron'Unique' (two plants), and soil substrate beneath the infected plants. Nursery #8 had infected Rhododendron (four plants) and infested stream runoff from the retention pond. After eradication activities were implemented, hazard assessments were conducted at both nurseries with mandatory BMPs included in their federal compliance agreements.
Of the eight positive nurseries identified during federal certification surveys, four opted out of, or were removed from, the federal program. These four nurseries are now subject to Oregon's state quarantine requirements for P. ramorum, which includes mandatory testing to ensure there is no intrastate movement of the pathogen from these locations. The other four are currently operating under modified compliance agreements that include mandatory BMPs to address specific hazards at their nurseries. Seven nurseries tested pathogen free and continue to participate in the federal program.

NORS-DUC Investigation into the Epidemiology of P. ramorum Inoculum in Nursery Soils. Ebba Peterson and Jennifer Parke, Oregon State University, and Nik Grünwald, USDA-ARS Horticultural Crops Research Laboratory, Corvallis, OR.
Phytophthora ramorum is thought to survive in soil via leaf litter infested with the pathogen harboring mycelium, sporangia, and chlamydospores. While the summer survival of P. ramorum in leaf debris incorporated into nursery and forest soils is well established, the timing of sporulation and infection, and the relative contribution of inoculum at various depths are unknown. Two aspects of the disease cycle are being investigated at the National Ornamental Research Site at Dominican University of California (NORS-DUC): the infection of leaves at the soil surface, and the survival and sporulation potential of inoculum after incubation in soils. Rhododendron leaf disks infested by P. ramorum were introduced into an irrigated, experimental soil plot at two depths, 5 and 15 cm, in June 2014. Periodically a subsample has been baited with non-infested leaf disks placed atop the soil column containing inoculum. In addition to baiting, inoculum has also been recovered for plating in selective media (to assess survival) or placed in filtered, sterilized creek water (to assess sporulation). Recovery from soil-incubated disks remained stable after an initial decline observed within the first 2 weeks. Sporulation has been greatest from inoculum at 15 cm, and declined in summer months for inoculum at both depths. With the onset of cooler temperatures in autumn, an increase in recovery success from incubated disks has been observed. While a moderate increase in sporulation has also been observed, P. ramorum has not yet been isolated from baits placed above inoculum introduced in June. Results indicate that recovery of P. ramorum from infested leaf disks may overestimate the risk soilborne inoculum poses to infection of plants at the soil-surface interface due to significant decreases in sporulation capacity. While cooler and more constant temperatures and moisture levels present at lower depths may contribute to greater survival and sporulation, dispersal from these depths may be limited. This work will continue through the winter and spring, times classically considered a higher risk for the re-establishment of P. ramorum from soilborne sources.
Eyre, C.A. and Garbelotto, M. 2015. Detection, Diversity, and Population Dynamics of Waterborne Phytophthora ramorum Populations. Phytopathology. 105(1): 57-68.
Sudden oak death, the tree disease caused by Phytophthora ramorum, has significant environmental and economic impacts on natural forests on the U.S. west coast, plantations in the United Kingdom, and in the worldwide nursery trade. Stream baiting is vital for monitoring and early detection of the pathogen in high-risk areas and is performed routinely; however, little is known about the nature of water-borne P. ramorum populations. Two drainages in an infested California forest were monitored intensively using stream-baiting for 2 years between 2009 and 2011. Pathogen presence was determined both by isolation and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from symptomatic bait leaves. Isolates were analyzed using simple sequence repeats to study population dynamics and genetic structure through time. Isolation was successful primarily only during spring conditions, while PCR extended the period of pathogen detection to most of the year. Water populations were extremely diverse, and changed between seasons and years. A few abundant genotypes dominated the water during conditions considered optimal for aerial populations, and matched those dominant in aerial populations. Temporal patterns of genotypic diversification and evenness were identical among aerial, soil, and water populations, indicating that all three substrates are part of the same epidemiological cycle, strongly influenced by rainfall and sporulation on leaves. However, there was structuring between substrates, likely arising due to reduced selection pressure in the water. Additionally, water populations showed wholesale mixing of genotypes without the evident spatial autocorrelation present in leaf and soil populations.
Garbelotto, M.; Maddison, E.R.; and Schmidt, D. 2014. SODmap and SODmap Mobile: Two Tools to Monitor the Spread of Sudden Oak Death. Forest Phytophthoras 4(1). DOI: 10.5399/osu/fp.4.1.3560. http://journals.oregondigital.org/ForestPhytophthora/article/view/3560/3335.
Sudden oak death (SOD) is caused by Phytophthora ramorum, an exotic pathogen introduced multiple times in California, Oregon and Washington. The pathogen has been spreading in California and Oregon forests at relatively modest rates from the initial introduction points, covering mostly distances in the range of hundreds of meters, and only occasionally spreading 3-5 km away from established infestations. In California, oak (Quercus spp.) and tanoak (Notholithocarpus densiflorus) are infected only when infected California bay laurel (Umbellularia californica) trees are within tens of meters, hence, a fine-scale knowledge of infected bays is important to assess the risk for oak infection at any given location. Since 2008, the University of California-Berkeley Forest Pathology Laboratory has been enlisting and training volunteers to survey woodlands for the presence of SOD. Symptomatic leaves are collected by volunteers and tested at U.C. Berkeley. Since 2012, results of these citizen-science efforts have been combined with results of surveys by researchers and government agencies and displayed jointly in the web-based SODmap. In 2013, a mobile app was launched to view SOD distribution in the field and to determine the risk for oak infection at any given location. This is one of the first large-scale joint efforts between volunteers, government agencies and academia resulting in valuable management tools for a forest disease.
Miles, T.D.; Martin, F.N.; and Coffey, M.D. 2015. Development of Rapid Isothermal Amplification Assays for Detection of Phytophthora spp. in Plant Tissue. Phytopathology. 105(2): 265-278.
Several isothermal amplification techniques recently have been developed that are tolerant of inhibitors present in many plant extracts, which can reduce the need for obtaining purified DNA for running diagnostic assays. One such commercially available technique that has similarities with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for designing primers and a labeled probe is recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA). This technology was used to develop two simple and rapid approaches for detection of Phytophthora spp.: one genus-specific assay multiplexed with a plant internal control and the other species-specific assays for Phytophthora ramorum and P. kernoviae. All assays were tested for sensitivity (ranging from 3 ng to 1 fg of DNA) and specificity using DNA extracted from more than 136 Phytophthora taxa, 21 Pythium spp., 1 Phytopythium sp., and a wide range of plant species. The lower limit of linear detection using purified DNA was 200 to 300 fg of DNA in all pathogen RPA assays. Six different extraction buffers were tested for use during plant tissue maceration and the assays were validated in the field by collecting 222 symptomatic plant samples from over 50 different hosts. Only 56 samples were culture positive for Phytophthora spp. whereas 91 were positive using the Phytophthora genus-specific RPA test and a TaqMan real-time PCR assay. A technique for the generation of sequencing templates from positive RPA amplifications to confirm species identification was also developed. These RPA assays have added benefits over traditional technologies because they are rapid (results can be obtained in as little as 15 min), do not require DNA extraction or extensive training to complete, use less expensive portable equipment than PCR-based assays, and are significantly more specific than current immunologically based methods. This should provide a rapid, field-deployable capability for pathogen detection that will facilitate point-of-sample collection processing, thereby reducing the time necessary for accurate diagnostics and making management decisions.

Native plant and restoration nurseries are joining the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) Best Management Practices (BMP) Program in response to detection of Phytophthora tentaculata, a newly introduced pathogen in several California native plant nurseries and restoration sites. Outreach to the native plant community through the "Responding to an Expanding Threat: Exotic Phytophthora Species in Native Plant Nurseries, Restoration Plantings, and Wildlands" symposium, held 12/2/14 in San Francisco, provided an excellent springboard to encourage nurseries to employ clean stock production practices and participate in the CDFA BMP Program. Numerous nurseries are now implementing BMPs under the guidance of CDFA and NORS-DUC (partners in the statewide program) as well as receiving guidance from consultants in the field. Plant samples are being collected or submitted voluntarily to the CDFA Plant Pest Diagnostic Lab for disease diagnosis, and customized BMPs are being developed for each nursery. A BMP Manual is under development to provide general guidance to the native plant industry.
