Hot off the press! Have a look at our latest research article on reducing chlorothalonil use for peanut leaf spot management: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…. It was a wonderful experience working with Amanda Strayer-Scherer.

Come check out all the events ASPB Early Career Plant Scientists Section has organized at #PlantBio24 in #hawaii! Looking forward to all the amazing plant people joining us!

Plant researcher Peter Lundquist has won a $1.5M Faculty Early Career Development Award from the U.S. National Science Foundation. Lundquist's work investigates how plants respond to stressors. MSU Biochemistry & Molecular Biology @MSUDOEPlantlab Read about his research: natsci.msu.edu/news/2024-06-l…

Anyone going to #PlantBio2024? The ASPB Early Career Plant Scientists Section have many fun things lined up for this year's conference! But my most favorite among all events is the 3-Minute Thesis competition happening on Sunday morning during the Plenary Session!

Super thrilled to be attending my first ASPB meeting thanks to support by #AG2PI and IMPACTS! Check out my poster (3rd row, front right of poster hall) about comparative genomics approaches for finding adaptive patterns in polyploid plants 😁 #PlantBio2024 #ASPB #Aloha

Excited to present my research at ASPB . Huge thanks to #AG2PI #USDA for their generous funding support. #PlantBio2024 #ECPS #hawaii

Our ASPB Early Career Plant Scientists Section mascot Bernard is on his way to the Presidents Symposium! Excited to hear all the talks! If you would like your own mascot come find an ECPS representative! #ECPSinHI

Bernard is ready to get his trivia on as Maui brewing company! #ECPSinHI ASPB Early Career Plant Scientists Section ASPB

Bernard is enjoying the big birthday celebration for ASPB! Everybody say happy birthday! 🌺☀️🌈🌸❤️ ASPB Early Career Plant Scientists Section #PlantBio2024

Hey ICPPB & Biocontrol 2024 folks! Come see me at my poster #108 and discuss about disease suppressive phyllosphere. Kevin Hockett

Great news to kick off the weekend! My/our (science is a team effort) paper on a complete #genome resource of the #oakwilt fungus, #Bretziellafagacearum, has been accepted in The American Phytopathological Society PhytoFrontiers, with minor revisions suggested! #nuclear #mitochondrial #chromosomes🧬🍄

My samples are ready to cross borders! 🇺🇸🇨🇦 In collaboration with Philippe Tanguay Natural Resources, we're using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to detect #Bretziellafagacearum (#oakwilt fungus) on insect vectors 🪲 & within host tissues 🌿. 🔬🐞🌳🍄 #Detection #ForestPathology

Recently presented at #OakWilt Managers Meeting Michigan Department of Natural Resources 2024! Audience was engaged, especially in new detection methods using fallen leaf petioles & the pathogen's pop structure. Loved the insightful Qs! Their feedback made my PhD work feel truly worthwhile! #Forestpathology

Shadows of Tar Spot: Some Serious Severity! Karan Chahal, MS, PhD 🍄🌳🔬🧫🧬🧪🐞

Excited to share that an article from my PhD is now available for The American Phytopathological Society PhytoFrontiers™ First Look! Thanks to all co-authors and Joint Genome Institute for the support. Check it out👇 A high-quality genome resource for the oak wilt pathogen Bretziella fagacearum apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PH…

Super excited to share the outcome of a great collaboration in discovering a new eccDNA rearrangement. 🧬 What will the next eccDNA discovery be?

Now, oak wilt can be diagnosed from single oak leaf petiole. 👇
