Technical and scientific expertise with Puccinia psidii

Dr Jacqueline Edwards is the Research Leader of Plant Pathology within the Biosciences Research Division of the Victorian Government Department of Environment and Primary Industries. Her duties include leading a team of plant diagnosticians and providing fungal taxonomic expertise for the plant diagnostic laboratory, Crop Health Services (CHS), which is part of the National Plant Biosecurity Diagnosticians Network. Puccinia psidii was first reported in Australia in 2010. The CHS laboratory was one of the confirmatory laboratories for this incursion. Dr Edwards took part as a Technical Expert for the Plant Health Australia Myrtle Rust Categorisation Team which was formed to determine the cost-sharing arrangements for dealing with the incursion. In 2012, Puccinia psidii was detected in Victoria for the first time. During the delimiting surveys undertaken by Biosecurity Victoria, all of the suspect infected plant material was submitted to CHS for diagnosis. In addition to diagnosis, Dr Edwards participated in surveillance and provided technical expertise to the Biosecurity Victoria Emergency Response Team. In June 2012 Dr Edwards, together with forest pathologist David Smith, presented an update of the Victorian Myrtle rust situation at the Myrtle Rust R&D Workshop held in Brisbane. Dr Edwards was part of the project team for the Pathway Risk Analysis Project (2010 -2012) led by the Australian Centre for Environmental Risk Analysis (ACERA). This was a collaborative project that examined the risk of potential entry pathways into Australia using Puccinia psidii as a case study. A novel sampling method was developed to detect P. psidii spores on different surfaces. Samples were split and sent to two laboratories (CHS and Tasmania) for molecular-based detection in order to test both the detection protocol and the repeatability of the protocol between laboratories. One paper has been published and another is in review: Jones SA, Holliday JL, Hirsch M, Simpson JA, Clarke SJ, Glen M, Doughty S, Edwards J, Moran JR, Robinson AP, Burgman MA. Procedures for diagnostic testing of environmental samples for plant pathogens – a case study of Puccinia psidii. Submitted to Phytopathology, Dec 2014.

Additional expertise in taxonomy, molecular diagnostics, quarantine protocols, diagnostic protocols, ability to work via email discussions in Englishetc.

 Expert knowledge of aetiology, biology, epidemiology and management of fungal plant pathogens, mycology, plant biosecurity and soil health, underpinned by broad knowledge of plant health principles.  Role of advisor on Australia’s Subcommittee on Plant Health Diagnostics (SPHD) Diagnostic Protocol Working Group  Victoria’s mycological expert, curator of the VPRI plant disease herbarium and representative on the Australian Plant Pest Database. Responsible for provision of preliminary information datasheets for new pest records in Victoria and for area freedom requests, and for providing expert advice to the state Chief Plant Health Manager as required. Continuous review of the pathogen status on numerous hosts in Australia for diagnostic clients.  Developed guidelines for assigning plant pathogens into risk categories for determining the level of containment required (ie PC1 – PC4) for laboratories, glasshouses and screenhouses published in the Standards Australia AS/NZS 2243.3 ‘Safety in Laboratories – Microbiological aspects and containment’ revision to include microbiological organisms that threaten agricultural production and the environment.  Provision of technical expertise at national level such as categorisation of myrtle rust and European canker, review of Industry Biosecurity Plans for Biosecurity Victoria (eg plantation forestry, viticulture, nursery, potatoes). Provision of technical input into Biosecurity Victoria emergency responses for myrtle rust, chestnut blight, barley stripe rust, wheat streak mosaic virus, Karnal bunt and asparagus rust.  Author of two National Diagnostic Protocols: Neonectria ditissima (European canker) and Roeslaria subterranea (grapevine root rot); 11 pest threat sheets for the apple and banana industries.  Chair of the Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) to the National Grapevine Leaf Rust Eradication Program (NGLREP). Grapevine leaf rust (GLR) was discovered in Darwin July 2001 and the eradication program began in March 2003 to protect Australia’s combined grape industries worth $4.7 B. The SAP, a multi-agency team with representatives from commonwealth and state governments and industry, provided technical advice and direction to the NGLREP which inspected over 40,000 properties, removed 70% grapevines in the region within 2 years and regularly inspected and treated the remainder. GLR Area Freedom was declared in October 2007. This is the only successful eradication of a rust incursion to date.  Effectively coordinated and supervised a team of 40 plant pathologists pooled together from different state and commonwealth agencies as Operations Manager for the Karnal Bunt Task Force (KBTF) in 2004. Pakistan rejected 150,000 tonnes of Australian wheat, claiming it was infected with Tilletia indica. Knoxfield became the Incident Management Centre and the KBTF tested 495 Australian Wheat Board wheat

samples in 3 weeks, successfully demonstrating that Australian wheat did not have Karnal bunt. Australia’s $4B wheat export trade resumed with minimal impact.  Effectively managed the plant pathology team input into the chestnut blight incursion response. Liaison between Biosecurity Victoria and the diagnostics laboratory, and provided surge capacity of 6 plant pathology staff deployed to north east Victoria to help delineate the incursion. The plant pathology team determined that a look-alike indigenous Eucalyptus pathogen was confusing the positives. Once this was understood, it was evident that the real chestnut blight was restricted to a few properties in the Ovens Valley and therefore was deemed eradicable.  Member of Australia’s National Plant Biosecurity Diagnosticians network  Extensive experience on the editorial boards of scientific journals where all communication was via email in English. Extensive experience in correcting and editing written documents to provide professional quality assurance of the published version.

Field Based Activities Agrobiodiversity 2013 February todate A survey on weeds present in agricultural lands of Sri Lanka with the intention of evaluating any new addition to the flora of Sri Lanka 2012 – 2013 Pest survey on Trogoderma granarium (Insect) and Euphorbia dentata (weed) 2012 March – 2012 September A research on a modified protocol to test the presence of viable seeds in export ready cocopeat consignments

2011 September – 2012 February A research on separation of weed seed contaminants in imported crop seed consignments using colour sorting

Natural biodiversity 2011 February Flora surveyor – EIA for Expansion of Nilawella Fishing Harbour 2009 May Re-invention of Balanocarpus kitulgalensis, a point endemic to Sri Lanka from the Kitulgala riverine forest. This species was recorded by A. J. G. H. Kostermanns as confined to this site in 1980s but was not recorded thereafter. The site was invaded by invasive species and the invasion management activity has threatened the survival of the species. 2008 October – 2009 June A biodiversity survey in Maduru Oya National Park, the thirdly largest national park in Sri Lanka to develop a proper management plan to the national park 2008 September A biodiversity assessment in Kanneliya Forest Reserve , Sri Lanka. This is one of the least disturbed and biologically unique lowland rain forests remaining in Sri Lanka which can be considered as a humid wet evergreen forest type with a high degree of endemism. 2008 May Biodiversity survey at Horton Plains National Park. It is the National park located in the highest plateau of Sri Lanka and consists of montane cloud forests embedded in wet montane grasslands. 2007 April Geological Information System for the Phopham’s Arboretum at Kandalama, Dambulla, Sri Lanka Using ArcView. This Arboretum represents various stages of secondary forest, established on degraded scrubland on old shifting cultivation clearings. Currently, the arboretum has the characteristics of a forest which is normally found in the Intermediate Zone of Sri Lanka and founded and nurtured by British planter Sam Phopham since 1960s. 2009 March Resource Person - A biodiversity survey at Mee Oya mangrove site (which comprises of rare mangrove species) to propose it as a biologically sensitive area.

Research Activities Agrobiodiversity 2014 September – todate A study to evaluate the allelopathic effects of 4 crop land associated invasive plant species in dry zone of Sri Lanka on dryzone crops 2014 April- 2014 September Development of an identification key for the seeds of the species belong to angiosperm family Polygonaceae in Sri Lanka 2013 February to-date Study on the effects of of Fallopia convolvulus to agricultural and Natural biodiversity in Sri Lanka. 2012 March – 2012 September A research on a modified protocol to test the presence of viable seeds in export ready cocopeat consignments 2011 September – 2012 February A research on separation of weed seed contaminants in imported crop seed consignments using colour sorting 2011 January – 2011 June Preliminary screening of 22 developed Oryza sativa varieties for the effects of pre planting herbicide Glyphosate. in vitro cultivation of rice varieties in a media with different glyphosate concentrations including the recommended dose was done and the tolerance/ resistance was measured. 2010 January- 2010 December A study on ‘The effects of Pre and Post emergence herbicides on Rice genotypes in Sri Lanka” Five improved and three traditional varieties of Oryza sativa L. and five wild Oryza species found in Sri Lanka were screened for the most common Pre and post emergence herbicide types used by Sri Lankan farmers. The recommended and double dose of the herbicide is applied as treatments with control and nine herbicide combinations. Field study was carried out with 13 (5 developed varieties, 3 traditional varieties and 5 wild species) Oryza genotypes

Natural biodiversity 2008 November – 2010 December A research to evaluate the taxonomy and identification of Striga species in Sri Lanka based on morphological characteristics. In Sri Lanka there are 03 Striga species namely S. angustifolia, S. gesnerioides and S. lutea where none of them are serious crop parasites. 2007 August - 2008 June Undergraduate research project was carried out on the systematics of Garcinia species in Sri Lanka. During this research I was able to construct inter-species relationships of Sri Lankan Garcinia species (which includes five endemic species), using both the similarity and cladistic methods. An identification key for the genus was prepared using the conspicuous vegetative morphological characters. For this study I have sampled 23 different sites (protected forest areas) in Sri Lanka. This includes Sinharaja world heritage site, Ritigala Strict Nature Reserve, Horton Plane National Park, Udawalawa National Park and the Peak Wilderness Sanctuary (Adam’s peak).
