So proud of our #ucdavis nematologists! Here are some who participated in the Society of Nematology meeting in Park City, Utah. Well done! rb.gy/xmirni

Well, I have a new title.

Congrats to #ucdavis Distinguished Professor Emeritus Howard Ferris, recipient of Honorary Member award, Society of Nematologists, the highest award SON gives. Read more about Howard here. What an amazing career! rb.gy/uhy4ja

Root-knot nematodes exploit the catalase-like effector to manipulate plant reactive oxygen species levels by directly degrading H2O2: bsppjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

We had a successful season collecting Mi-1 resistance-breaking root-knot nematodes from various locations across California's Central Valley. Excited to move forward with sequencing their genomes in collaboration with Simon Cornelis Groen . Thanks to CA Tomato Research Institute and NIFA for

It was national nematology day yesterday. We had some fun:) @NemaVero Alison Blundell Ching-Jung Lin (林靖容) Society of Nematologists

Visited the largest and independent Nematology department in USA UC Riverside under Fulbright OLF program. Delivered lecture on genome editing to develop nematode resistant crops. Thanks to Simon Cornelis Groen Adler Dillman for hosting me. Thanks to Shahid Siddique for endorsing my visit.

New Phytologist Happy to see our Ustilago maize cover and congrats to Mamoona Khan

We welcomed Dr. Shahid Siddique (Shahid Siddique) from UC Davis to WSU Pullman for a fantastic seminar on Plant Parasitic Nematodes and their impact on plants!

Excited to share our spotlight article on a new study by Wang et al., describing control of root-knot nematodes by expressing Bt proteins in leucoplasts. Alison Blundell. Read the spotlight here: cell.com/molecular-plan… and the original article here cell.com/molecular-plan…

Two days left to apply for this very cool insect biology position!

The UCD-UCR Nematology Hangout was a “worm”deful success. Thank you especially to the Groen Lab for hosting us and showing us your advancements in the UCR Nematology collection along with sharing your research and ideas 🪱

Very excited to see my first first author paper published in PNASNews . We found the first effector regulator in plant-parasitic nematodes! Congratulations to all authors and co first author Clément Pellegrin. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🌾 Excited to share that our research on plant tandem kinase proteins (TKPs)! nature.com/articles/s4158… We found wheat TKP RWT4 directly binds to the fungal effector AvrPWT4 to trigger immune responses against the devastating Magnaporthe oryzae.

Important work on nematode diet regulation. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Congrats. Well deserved Alison. nematology.ucdavis.edu/news/alison-bl… Alison Blundell
