Great to welcome Clarissa de Bekker to #CMINorwich25 - fascinating fungal-insect-plant interactions

It was an honor to play a small role in this… great to see your vision on this topic out in this review, Garima Singh !

Wheat Pathogens webinar, March 20th! Dr. Daniel Croll, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland, will talk about “Understanding mechanisms of crop pathogen emergence using large genome panels”. Please share! buff.ly/45ttOjL KC 👨‍🔬🌾🍄🇦🇺 Reem Aboukhaddour

Dr. Amelia H. Lovelace et al. investigated the transcriptomic landscape of ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (Las) in citrus seed coat vasculatures, enabling a complete gene expression profiling of the Las genome and revealing unique transcriptomic patterns compared with those from
