Taylor Klass NIFA predoc fellow wrapping up our The American Phytopathological Society #PlantHealth2022 with a ted talk-like style presentation on how metagenomics is changing plant pathogen identification. #OneHealth OhioStatePlantPath Ohio State Infectious Diseases Institute Ohio State - CFAES Sally A Miller

High tide in the mangroves is so special, listen to how peaceful it is 😌

@xocolatl_vrr will be joining psuPPEM in July 2023 plantpath.psu.edu/news/plant-pat… and is excitedly recruiting students to start their graduate work in Plant Pathology in Fall 2023. Apply before Dec. 15 plantpath.psu.edu/graduate/apply.

Amazing lab retreat in the mountains to recharge, generate new ideas, and share great laughs.#PlantPathology Nate Heiden Taylor Klass Marcus V Merfa Hannah Toth

“veromics” how to use omics for basic and applied plant health research as prescribed by Dr. Verónica Román-Reyna @xocolatl_vrr soon to be faculty at psuPPEM. what an honor to work with Vero at OhioStatePlantPath Ohio State Infectious Diseases Institute!

‘Twas a beautiful day for a field trip with the grad plant path lab. They took soil samples for nematode extractions 🪱 w/ Horacio Lopez-Nicora #nematology #plantpathology

I'll be presenting back-to-back talks on Sunday. First, at Schroth Faces of the Future Symposium (Windows Room, 12:30 pm), where I'll share our results on effector loss for host range expansion of Xanthomonas translucens.

Marcus V Merfa The American Phytopathological Society Hannah Toth Taylor Klass @xocolatl_vrr Hannah Toth is a first-year student in the team leading the workshop on metagenomics! OhioStatePlantPath genomes powered by Ohio State Infectious Diseases Institute AMSL!

Wrapping up #PlantHealth2023 day 0 by finishing the metagenomics workshop led by the great graduate student Hannah Toth and sponsored by the Phyllosphere Microbiology Committee. Thanks everyone who attended and those who helped in it! jj @xocolatl_vrr Taylor Klass

So awesome to see my 2 of my mentors present in the same day! @xocolatl_vrr Marcus V Merfa (Marcus even presented twice!) These 2 have made a great impact on my plant pathology career.

Thank you Marcus!

Excited to share my work on the spatiotemporal activity of Xanthomonas translucens T3SS during barley infection. If you like colorful confocal microscopy images stop by Poster P2.1-068. Bacteria (yellow) targeting guard and mesophyll cells (cyan). #ICPP2023

Taylor Klass presenting on #metagenomics diagnostics and surveillance for her ICPP2023 talk OhioStatePlantPath

Hannah Toth presenting a flash talk for her poster ICPP2023. Check out the preprint. Ohio State Infectious Diseases Institute OhioStatePlantPath biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Loved having the chance to present our work on developing metagenomics for diagnostics at ICPP2023!

Congrats to jj on Postdoctoral Mentor of the Year award, nominated by postdocs in his lab🌟L-R: J Gentry (Office of Postdoctoral Affairs), Postdoc Dr. Merfa, Dept Chair Dr. Paul, Awardee Dr. Jacobs, and postdocs Dr. Hawk and Dr. Capouya. It was a surprise announcement!

Poster session is this afternoon at 4:45 pm! Stop by poster P-359 to talk about how a single effector gene impacts host range of the cereal pathogen Xanthomonas translucens! #PlantHealth2024 #MPMI
