Our latest manuscript, by Martínez-de-la Parte et al., shows that strains causing Fusarium wilt of banana can infect and survive in Heliconia species and ornamental bananas. A call for updating current containment protocols. https://t.co/5nupx99iA7 @WUR @phytoWUR @promusa_banana

We congratulate Einar Martinez de la Parte with his inventory of Fusarium wilt pathogen diversity in Cuba and its surroundings in Environmental Microbiology https://t.co/lnXZK3iWf8

Great to have contributed to this work! Congrats to PhD Einar Martinez de la Parte and the team @WUR @phytoWUR

None of 18 important banana and plantain varieties grown in Cuba is fully resistant to Fusarium TR4 under greenhouse conditions. Prevention of TR4 entering into Cuba of utmost importance! @WUR @WURplant @FAOwbf @promusa_banana @phytoWUR #banano #banana https://t.co/fsCDs106i0

Always happy when banana plants start growing for the next trial against Fusarium wilt caused by TR4 #banana #TR4 @WURplant @phytoWUR @promusa_banana @HaroldMeijer2 @WUR

Pleased to see our latest paper @bananaresearch has just been published in PLoS Pathogens Pearls on the global advance of TR4 and its threat to Africa's food security. https://t.co/0DgBkZtoBU @promusa_banana @FAOwbf @WUR @thebananafilm @BananaLink @MFSeidl

It’s a big honor to receive and to host collection of Zymoseptoria tritici, collected across the world by Gert Kema @WUR. Now at @kieluni @KielPlant. Unique resource and still so much to learn by Zymo community.

Had an amazing time @NanoporeConf #nanoporeconf over the last two days. Superb presentations, venue and people. Going home full of inspiration for another year of groundbreaking sequencing work in the lab and field to open the gates of Mordor!

Congrats @baptiste_bio!! Exciting path ahead! Best wishes for your new project with great mentors @PierreMarcDelau @jacquet_chris 👍

Fiona Hill actually tried to get Arnold made the US ambassador to Russia during the Obama administration, thinking he was one of the few people who could talk sense into Putin.

Judging by this, he’d have done a hell of a job.

Fajarudin Ahmad, who finished his thesis in 2021 is in the selection for the best thesis cover of this year at Wageningen University & Research. Please support him by voting for his cover, of course we are talking banana's.. https://t.co/5MoWDa06lQ @promusa_banana @EPSGradSchool

@Mrs_DeeGee Omicron duurt nog even, mocht het ca. 25% van de vermeerdering in Zuid Afrika in NL zijn, dan komen de echte nummers (>1000) pas over een weekje boven drijven.

Nearly all disinfectants, used as frontline defense against Tropical Race 4, are largely ineffective when spores are present in soil. Disinfectant usage under suboptimal conditions can be considered as window dressing. TR4 @promusa_banana @FAOwbf https://t.co/rrhEDLtIMX
