Millions rely on the humble bean for protein but plant diseases like common bacterial blight (CBB) can devastate harvests, compromising food security. #Plantbreeding PhD student Kidane Tumsa is breeding #commonbean for resistance to CBB at Melkassa Research Station, Ethiopia.

Finally we arrived at the bean seed of the BC3F3 generation! We are ready to start transcriptomy studies aiming to understand more about the molecular mechanisms of resistance to common bacterial blight 🧬🧫🌱

The first symptoms seen with common bacterial blight are small water-soaked spots 🥰

Is it wrong to think this is beautiful? 🦠

Symptoms of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca are not easy to discern on tobacco, so SADs improve the quality of visual estimates. Do they? Sheila Andrade compared 3 image analysis softwares and coordinated a multi-lab SAD validation study Preprint 👉 osf.io/frk5x/

Excited to announce the publication of our thematic Issue on Bacterial #Citrus Diseases, Part I. This is composed mainly of reviews (11) and five original articles. link.springer.com/journal/40858/… #Xylella #HLB #greening #CitrusCanker #Xanthomonas Part II forthcoming in October.

Why are you so beautiful? Pseudomonas fluorescens 🦠

Hello, Xanthomonas perforans 🍅 Adryelle Anchieta

More than 100 downloads of my article published in Phytopathology® UFVPlantPathology Sources, Spectrum, Genetics, and Inheritance of Phaseolus vulgaris Resistance Against Xanthomonas citri pv. fuscans apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/abs/10.109…

Exchanging experiences with NEFIP 🌱 group

Vem conferir o projeto de divulgação científica "Fora da Gaveta" do GEAFIP, onde falo um pouco da minha pesquisa publicada na Phytopathology® youtu.be/RG9R_Hqweb8

A iniciativa Mulheres na Fitopatologia faz divulgação científica e fortalece a representatividade feminina 🗣️ O quadro "Fitopatologia em vídeo" é feito por diversas pesquisadoras que abordam temas e técnicas relevantes para a ciência ✨ youtu.be/wqdtkYVM4TU

🎉

I've been invited to participate as a speaker in this great event promoted by GEAFIP. Thanks a lot for the invitation! pic.x.com/KY4rfBvw4y
