International Training Course
1. The Training Course on Coconut Palm Production Technologies for Federated States of Micronesia in 2018.
2. 2015 Training course on Tropical Crops Planting Technology for South Pacific Island Count-ries.
So far, there are more than 300 international trainees, including Micronesia, India, Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Samoa and so on, have attended Dr. Tang’s course.
Special interest
Key words: plant diseases; bacteria; phytoplasmas; molecular characterization; pathogen-host interaction
1. Phytoplasmas and bacteria presence is worldwide spread in several ecosystems: research performed are aimed to verify the presence of bacteria and the definition of association with phytoplasma presence of morphological and functional anomalies in plants of different species by phytoplasma molecular identification.
2. Yellow leaf disease (YLD) of arecanut (Areca catechu L.), an destructive disease of betel palm, was first reported in Tunchang, a county of Hainan Province in China in 1981. A survey conducted in 2005 in Hainan Province revealed that infected areca plantations arrived at 1 000 ha, with an incidence of 10-30%; in the severely infected areas, the incidence was as high as approximately 90%. As a result, reduction in yield was up to 50-80% even 100%, and early infected gardens has been thoroughly destroyed. To date, it has spread to most regions where betel palm is an economically important crop in Hainan Island.
