You’d be salivating over this poa green if you were one of these 1 billion colletotricum spores🍽️🤤. Bring on the anthracnose…

It's supposed to be a "Graphical Syllabus," but every time I say it in my head it's a "Graphical Abstract."

If science articles can have graphical abstracts, why not a science course? #GraphicalSyllabus #AcademicTwitter

I am seeking a post-doc to join me at the USDA-ARS Foreign Disease lab in Frederick MD for NIFA-funded host-pathogen interaction research of boxwood blight disease. RT please! https://t.co/FPZYUFmnRb

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

To tackle fungal pathogens, protect the most vulnerable & to save lives, we need to act now:
1⃣ improve surveillance 🔍
2⃣ targeted support for research, development & innovation 👩🏽‍🔬
3⃣ raise awareness & enhance public health interventions ℹ️

@PriscilaChaver1 Congrats Priscilla!

Almost assuredly symptoms from infection by the Cotton leafroll dwarf virus in Georgia cotton. Quite distinct in some varieties. Significant yield loss is rare, but I can’t explain why symptoms like this are typically restricted to a small % of plants in a field. UGA Extension

At my lab's new location at USDA-ARS Foreign Diseases in Frederick, MD, we're looking to hire six new post-doctoral researchers to study invasive bacterial, fungal, oomycete and viral plant pathogens. Including three openings in my lab https://t.co/AyvmCOfVML

Research shows that 20-40% of the world's cacao beans are lost due to cacao plant diseases. A team of ARS researchers are working on solving this agricultural challenge to ensure commercial viability of future cacao crops. https://t.co/66kOHr4kkD

Found an old friend yesterday in the corn fields of Luzon, Philippines. Philippine Downy Mildew- Peronospora philippeninsis. Definitely a disease our corn growers in the USA don’t need. Truly an impressive pathogen and disease. UGA Extension

[Bob Kemerait @bobkemerait]

And just like that..southern corn rust found and confirmed in SE Georgia, Wayne County this afternoon. Early-planted corn (R3-R4 stage). This is first confirmation of southern rust in GA in 2022. This early find indicates much of the corn in south GA is at risk. UGA Extension.

Final Tally for May 154 trees lost to Laurel Wilt
If you grow avocados anywhere in the world you need to know about this disease. Loosing 5% of my trees every year.

Yesterday Colletotrichum was in downtown Salamanca and the public loved it! #Colletotrichum #FascinationofPlantsDay @Ciale @R_Baroncelli @SiolySioly7

This was a long time in development with collaborators from around the world and a multidisciplinary effort @FlviaRogrio2 @R_Baroncelli

Four Rhizoctonia-like fungal pathogens of cereals & turfgrass, including R. zeae and R. oryzae, finally have accurate new names and a new home in the Corticiaceae genus Waitea. Introducing Waitea zeae, W. oryzae, W. agrostidis, W. prodiga. https://t.co/tWPYeiIS4y
