Growing #Fusarium community! #Fusariumworkshop #Fungal24

#GoBison 🤘🏼

Proud to represent our lab at #fungal24. Thank you Thomas Baldwin!

Thank you organizers for the #travelaward and to my supervisor @barleypathology for the opportunity to attend the conference this year! Cheers to another successful week of great science and fun with great minds! Hope to see you all again next time! #fungal24 #fusariumworkshop

I just published: Jumping genes and other fungal stories from Asilomar Fungal geneticists convene biennially in March at this enchanting Pacific Coast retreat. This is what inspired me this year. #Fungal24 #fungi #biology #genetics #genomics link.medium.com/0iOylcGc4Hb

New Review: "Technology-enabled great leap in deciphering plant genomes" rdcu.be/dBZXH Analysis of 3,517 de novo assemblies from 1,575 plant species sequenced since 2000, including 793 newly sequenced species in the past three years, and a new database.

We are excited to announce cleaner nucleotide (nt) and protein (nr) BLAST databases with more accurate results! We now use NCBI quality assurance tools to systematically remove misleading sequences. Learn more: ow.ly/CEk950RlpoM #NCBICGR

The Richard and Linda Offerdahl Faculty Fellow, Barney Geddes, along with his team of microbiology students are pioneering research in the symbiosis of nitrogen-fixing bacteria with cereal crops, such as wheat, corn, and rice. Learn more: ndsufoundation.com/magazine/2024/…

Meet Andrew Friskop, associate professor and extension plant pathologist of cereal diseases in the Department of Plant Pathology at North Dakota State University. Learn more about him in our most recent article. scabusa.org/featured-resea…

Andrew Friskop, Cereal Crop Extension Plant Pathologist at NDSUPlantPathology, recommends using the Farmer’s Guide books (corn, soybean, wheat) in the field to diagnose and better understand crop diseases. Buy here apsnet.org/farmers

Just published! The new focus issue on “Key Challenges in Plant Pathology” presents papers targeting critical areas of concern facing plant scientists over the next decade, as identified in a 2023 survey of plant pathologists. apsjournals.apsnet.org/toc/phyto/114/5

How can pangenomes help us understand the diversity and virulence of human fungal pathogens? What are the challenges to their widespread implementation? Check out our thoughts on these questions in our latest article, out now in PLOS Pathogens! doi.org/10.1371/journa…

We are looking for a postdoc to help us study the rules that govern the assembly of the root nodule microbiome on a USDA-funded project. Link below, please rt. prd.hcm.ndus.edu/psp/recruit/EM…
