	BBC - Made in Bristol - 100 years of Long Ashton Research Station
		Long Ashton's fate was sealed in 1999, when a government review decided to concentrate agricultural research on a single site at Rothampsted in Hertfordshire.
		Long Ashton continued to innovate on behalf of fruit farmers, notably breeding shorter trees that were easier to harvest than traditional varieties.
		Over the years, research teams made significant advances in weed control and the effective use of farm chemicals including, in later years, reducing the amounts needed.

		IACR-Long Ashton Research Station, Long Ashton, Bristol, BS41 9AF, UK We developed a technique for the biolistic transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana root hairs, and used this to test large insert clones for complementation of two recessive mutant phenotypes, a procedure that takes less than a day.
		Root hairs are long, thin, straight outgrowths from single cells on the surface of plant roots.
		This procedure can be used instead of Agrobacterium tumefaciens -mediated transformation, which can take up to three months, and works for any mutant phenotype that can be seen in a single cell where the wild-type copy of the gene can act cell autonomously.

		This recognition of the importance of diseases and pests, especially rust, led to new research becoming established or consolidated in England (Long Ashton Research Station, University of Bristol), N. Ireland (Queen’s University and DANI), Sweden (Agricultural University, Uppsala) and Canada (University of Toronto).
		Research is still in its infancy, yet progress has been made in identifying the main species involved in damaging attacks, their life-histories and ecology, their clonal feeding preferences and their spatial responses to clonal diversity.
		Research, however, is successfully characterizing rust variation and this understanding has provided a strong basis for a promising non-chemical management approach.

	Diagnosis of Mineral Deficiencies in Plants by Visual Symptoms - Wallace, 1943
		If the special "long" or "short" day periods are not forthcoming for the respective classes of plants requiring these, their growth cycles are abnormal and they may fail entirely to produce flowers, grain or fruit.
		Warmest thanks are due to him for the long hours he has spent on the work and for the skill and energy he has shown in carrying out the important and onerous tasks assigned to him.
		The humidity of the atmosphere, as distinct from the water supply in the soil, is of importance in determining the water conditions within the plant, as these are dependent on both water intake by the roots and water loss from the leaves, the latter being largely influenced by the air humidity.

	Diagnosis of Mineral Deficiencies in Plants by Visual Symptoms - Chapter IV
		by Thomas Wallace, M.C., D.Sc., A.I.C. University of Bristol Agricultural and Horticulture Research Station, Long Ashton, Bristol
		It has long been known that chlorosis of the foliage of vines, due to iron deficiency, could be cured by painting the cut surfaces of pruned branches with sulfate of iron, but the modern technique of utilizing injection and spraying methods for the diagnosis and cure of deficiencies is of recent development.
		Morgan, of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station, in the U.S.A. Soil analyses are very useful for giving indications of deficiencies, particularly of such elements as phosphorus and potassium, and for providing information on soil acidity and alkalinity and organic matter content, but the data require expert interpretation.

	House of Commons Hansard Debates for 10 Nov 1999 (pt 57)
		The development in Long Ashton and the potential development of the research station land--which is quite extensive--must set precedents for further building applications in that transport corridor.
		We have been dealt a second blow: not only has the development that will result in the destruction of a large area of the green land surrounding the village been given the go-ahead, but we have learned that the Long Ashton research station is to be closed.
		Members to know where Long Ashton is, but, for those who are interested, it lies south of Bristol in the north of my constituency, in north Somerset.

	BBSRC Media Releases - Consolidation of IACR will boost research into sustainable agriculture (15 Jul 99)
		However, the transfer of research from Long Ashton to Rothamsted will take place over a long enough period for redundancies to be kept to a minimum.
		It is anticipated that about a third of the 125 permanent staff will transfer from Long Ashton to Rothamsted, and that the IACR will have a complement of approximately 600 staff once restructuring is complete.
		It is envisaged that the merger of research projects within the new scientific themes and structures of the Institute will result in a reduction in the number of research teams.
