From lesions to lessons: 

2025 marks the 20th anniversary of filamentous plant pathogen genomics. In our new review, we present lessons we learned over the past 2 decades and discuss the future of plant pathogen genomics. Take a first look!

A special congrats to @NDSUPlantPath graduate student, Abbeah Mae Navasca along with Dr. Thomas Baldwin, for being awarded $20,000 for the project, "Cross-infectivity, Genomic Analysis, and Transcriptomic Profiling of Fusarium graminearum in Artificial Barley-Broadleaf Crop Rotation."

"The direct outcomes of this project will improve crop rotation strategies through a deeper understanding of these biological mechanisms. We expect that farmers will consider changing their crop rotation sequence relative to the results of our study," said Mae Navasca.

This grant was awarded as part of NCR-SARE's 2024 Graduate Student Grant Program, a competitive grant program to fund graduate student projects that address sustainable agriculture issues. More details >> https://t.co/hz2m5D8gKa
