The project team members actively distribute knowledge to general public. During the last year they participated in a television documentary film, 21 television and radio shows or interviews, three school textbooks, 18 expert and 62 popular science papers. Members of the team participate in the organization of the international Fascination of Plants Day in Slovenia (http://www.plantday12.eu/slovenia.htm) under the umbrella of the European Plant Science Organization. Scientific knowledge on plant pathogens and plant protection are actively presented to the expert community through participation in workshops, conferences, manuals and national patent "Composition and method for plant protection : SI24489".

COBISS.SI-ID: 275284224In cytopathological samples of urine of patients with Bricker ileal conduit that are screened for malignant cells, plant cells are sometimes found in addition to intestinal mucosa cells. These plant cells were identified as guar seed cells. Guar is used to produce guar gum, which is used in certain ostomy adhesives. The findings of this study are of great importance for accurate interpretation of cytopathological examinations.
