Cheers to the amazing female grad students in @UCDPlantPath: @JuOsseSouza, Marcela Vasquez-Mayorga, Leslie Holland, PhD, Paola Reyes, Dr. Laura Perilla-Henao, Justine Beaulieu, Saskia Mesquida Pesci and many more #WomenInScience!

Too many COVID worries? Breathe deeply and relax by clicking on this photo, outside Mann Lab, where much Plant Sci postharvest research happens @UCDavis. Spring arrives in 2 days. @taylorlabsoton Postharvest Research and Extension Center UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden #COVID19stress


So happy to see our work featured by @UCDPlantPath!! Here we investigated three fungi causing molds when infecting tomato fruit. Our results increase understanding of fruit diseases and may help develop new control strategies. Check it out! Blanco Lab

The closest we're getting this year to Picnic Day 🌄 #PicnicDay2020 #PicnicDay1909 Picnic Day UC Davis Library UC Davis





The Annual @UCDavis Plant Science Symposium will be happening tomorrow via Zoom. You don't want to miss the flash talk of my fellow Blanco Lab grad student Stefan Petrasch on genomic prediction!

Very excited to share the latest preprint of the Blanco Lab on new insights into tomato fruit susceptibility to fungal pathogens. Check it out! Blanco Lab

Caption this photo of Sr. Neko Chan. Got this nice one from Saskia Mesquida Pesci "When you set up your PCR and realize you forgot to add the primers"



Very proud to have been part of a collaboration between the Blanco Lab and the Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology in Lleida, Spain. Read more about the interplay between Monilinia laxa and stone fruit here! Blanco Lab @UCDPlantPath nature.com/articles/s4143…

Join us today for the exit seminar of Dr. Stefan Petrasch on strawberry genetics of postharvest fruit quality and necrotrophic fungi resistance. See you at 12:10! UCDavisPlants


Don't miss Tomato Skywalker's epic battle against Darth Fungus and food waste! Premiering online tomorrow during Picnic Day!


Proud to see our paper in Plant Physiology finally out! Here we dived into how a fungal pathogen accelerates the ripening process to make tomatoes more susceptible. Congrats to Christian, the Blanco Lab, and collaborators! @UCDPlantPath UCDavisPlants Blanco Lab academic.oup.com/plphys/advance…
