A packed day of #plantpathology with a team break for Spartan Swirl ice cream at the MSU dairy store! Sanju

Excited to share my first research article published in Molecular Plant Pathology! “A Sucrose-Utilisation Gene Cluster Contributes to Colonisation of Horse Chestnut by Pseudomonas syringae pv. aesculi” Thanks to my supervisors Sabrine Dhaouadi & Robert Jackson for their support!

#ISMPMI2025 Happy to present today my poster about a newly discovered type III effector protein in P. syringae! Please come and visit P-155 today to discuss the story! Michelle Hulin Robert Jackson

I had the pleasure of mentoring REU student Lauren this summer! Thanks for being part of the lab and the lovely parting gift 🥰 MSU MSU-PSM Department

Excited to be attending my first APS in Hawaii! 🌺 #planthealth2025

We’re in Hawaii! Looking forward to APS #planthealth2025. Come see Dan’s talk on Pseudomonas phages in the tree disease section on Monday! 🌺

Dan from my lab presented his work on a Pseudomonas phage that has an intriguing role in virulence. #planthealth2025 #proudPI

Happy to share the first paper from my lab! We wrote a review on bacterial plant pathogen evolution 🧫🌱MSU MSU-PSM Department sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Slippery skin of onion, caused by Burkholderia gladioli pv. alliicola (Bga), is a globally reported disease with poorly understood virulence mechanisms. Sujan Paudel et al. used genomics and reverse genetics to identify key virulence factors in Bga, regulated partly by quorum
