📢 This fascinating @PNASNews article highlights OHMC’s @k_hockett's research on adapting plant microbiomes to enhance crop resilience 🌾🐛🦠 "Breeding will still have its place in the toolbox, [but] the microbiome approach will likely be far quicker." pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Excited to share our latest preprint! We've sequenced over 500 isolates from New Zealand's Psa3 population as part of ongoing genome biosurveillance efforts 🧬🦠🥝 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Excited to share our new preprint that shows a bacterial plant pathogen (Erwinia amylovora) can enter plants through naturally-occurring wounds from the abscission of trichomes biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Check out our recent publication which characterized the role of foraging pollinators in assembling the flower microbiota and transmitting the fire blight pathogen Erwinia amylovora! Nice work @SalmaMukhtar04 and all! …icro-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…

Excited about this collaboration and looking for a soil viromics postdoc (available immediately, hoping for someone who can start by January-ish). DM or email me if interested!

Excited to start on this multistate @USDA_NIFA project to investigate the impact of organic matter amendments on micro-predators & soil/plant health in collaboration w/ @triplettlr @jemersonmicro @BrahStevovo @Buckhout_Bull @kovac_lab @dr_biogeek @whereswaldoben, Gorgo-Gourovitch



I was actually lecturing on this topic last week in my course. Has the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ever been applied to microbial taxa?

When they start standing up for themselves, you hear the song of microorganisms in need of saving, too | AAAS. Q&A Discussion of a @Trends_Ecol_Evo article by @MortenLimborg and Caroline Winther-Have science.org/content/articl…

We explored #HLB-impacted #Citrus #metabolomes and IDed natural plant-produced anti-CLas compounds: ferulic acid + bioflavonoids. However, CLas-infection lowers plant ferulic acid & flavonoid biosynthesis, potentially aiding pathogen establishment nature.com/articles/s4159…
