Someone’s probably wondering why it’s not very windy in this vineyard.

Botrytis ratings done! 825 clusters rated twice. Thanks to the lab mates that were willing to handle a lot of rotted fruit!

DAPI stain of powdery mildew conidium. Big bright spot is the nucleus and the tiny speckles mitochondrial DNA? Maybe just poor staining technique. Thoughts?

At a botanical garden these poor poinsettia were not having a great day at the hands (hyphae?) of Botrytis.

Google Chrome’s auto translation gave me a good laugh 😂

Trying to study for prelims…

Email signature changed, I'm officially a PhD candidate!

This Friday a group of Master and PhD students from Botany & Plant Pathology are presenting their research proposals at the Graduate Student Celebration. You can join us in person or by Zoom! Register at the following link: oregonstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6y…

Day 3 of #gdpm2022 with Sarah Lowder, PhD Going over rapid sampling techniques of 🍇powdery mildew! 🧤

I presented a QR code so large it was scannable from space!

Absolute unit

Botrytis in the research vineyard! These clusters still need to hang for another week before rating so they’ll be extra “juicy” by then!
