REVIEW OF EXPERTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE TPDP WORK PROGRAMME (Prepared by IPPC Secretariat)

Background

[1] This document presents an update regarding the composition of the diagnostic protocols (DPs) drafting groups of the following subjects:

 Striga spp. (2008-009)  Conotrachelus nenuphar (2013-002)  Anoplophora spp. (2004-020)

1 [2] The complete list of the IPPC DP drafting groups is available on the IPP and it is continually revised by the IPPC Secretariat. An updated version will be available soon. 1. Drafting group for Striga spp. (2008-009)

2 [3] During the last virtual meeting , the TPDP discussed the nomination received from the 2014 November call for authors3 for the draft DP for Striga spp. (2008-009).

[4] The panel agreed with the nomination of Ms Wathukarage Jayani NIMANTHIKA (Sri Lanka) to join the group as co-author. The TPDP also agreed to invite, as lead author, Mr Lytton John MUSSELMAN (USA), current author of the DP drafting group for Striga spp. (2008-009). The Secretariat contacted Mr Lytton John MUSSELMAN (USA) and he accepted this assignment.

[5] In addition, the Secretariat invited the panel in the last virtual meeting, to ask some other experts to be part of this DP drafting group and to present their CVs at the next TPDP virtual meeting.

[6] Ms Ruojing WANG, working with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, was suggested to join the draft DP Striga spp. (2008-009). Contact was made and Ms WANG is willing to be part of this DP drafting group. Her CV is provided for the TPDP consideration4.

2. Drafting group for Conotrachelus nenuphar (2008-009)

5 6 [7] Two calls for authors were opened for this subject in 2013 and 2014 respectively, and in both cases there were lack of nominations. Up to now, there is only one author for the DP

drafting group, Mr Samuel Nathan CRANE (United States of America). He confirmed his willing to continue working on this draft DP and to serve as lead on this DP drafting group.

[8] Mr Norman BARR (TPDP member for Entomology) contacted other experts and provided the following feedback:

 Mr Charles W. O'BRIEN (United States of America): he is willing to join the DP drafting group. His CV is attached to this document.  Ms Tracy LESKEY (United States of America): contact was made but no response back.

[9] In addition, Ms Juliet GOLDSMITH (TPDP member for Entomology) agreed to join this DP drafting group. Her CV is provided for the TPDP consideration.

3. Drafting group for Anoplophora spp. (2004-020)

[10] Regarding the draft DP for Anoplophora spp. (2004-020), as agreed during the last virtual meeting, Mr Norman BARR tried contact again the DP drafting group and no positives replies were received from them with regards to their participation to work on this draft. Mr BARR highlighted the importance of this subject as discussed in the last virtual meeting.

[11] After several attempts to handpick authors and to motivate the DP drafting group, the Secretariat invite the TPDP to ask the SC to consider putting this subject on hold (i.e. “pending status’’) or delete it from the work programme.

[12] The TPDP is invited to:

1) consider Ms Ruojing WANG nomination to be part of the drafting group for Striga spp. (2008-009). 2) consider Ms Juiliet GOLDSMITH and Mr Charles W. O'BRIEN nominations to be part of the DP drafting group for Conotrachelus nenuphar (2008-009). 3) provide feedback regarding other experts contacted or to be contacted for the Conotrachelus nenuphar (2008-009) DP drafting group. 4) consider asking the SC to consider putting the draft DP for Anoplophora spp. (2004-020) on “pending status’’ and ask SC’s support to help in identifying experts to be part part of the DP drafting group or, ask the SC to consider deleting this subject from the TPDP work programme.

Current Research Activities

Project 1: Develop digital identification using image analysis and computing technology for identifying weed seeds that have morphological similarity and risk to Canadian biodiversity. Project Objectives are to develop quantified morphological features for plant sp ecies that have morphological similarities; to create feature parameters and collect morphometric data from digital images to provide an innovative seed identification tool for species identification, and to evaluate the feasibility and potential application of digital identification. Project 2: Development of weed seed identification tools: image database and computer based identification keys. The objectives of the project are to develop diagnostic images of seed identification, identification fact sheets, Lucid identification keys and a comprehensive Lucid identification tool for regulated plant species. Project 3: Weed biology and seed identification features of Chinese weedy species that are a risk to Canadian biosecurity. Objective is to collect ecological and biological information and specimens of major weed species that are distributed in the Chinese production areas for export to Canada and in regions that are climatically similar to Canadian hardiness zones.
