My first @plantdisease mtg was in 2007 as an undergrad. 12 years later I’m attending as a PI @NCSU_DEPP with a talented team of scientists #PlantHealth2022!
1st gen, ESL, free school lunch, proud daughter of Mexican 🍓 field pickers @CAStrawberries.
We are buckled up and ready for our 8hr trip to the Plant health conference in Pittsburg, See you all there!!!! 🌱👩👩👧👧🚗🧫 #PlantHealth2022#HuertaLab#Phytobacteria
Dr. David Ritchie shares his research spanning FIVE decades! @NCSU_DEPP@NCStateCALS He has grown with the profession, research, and times. He is always willing to support new phytobacteriologists and voices in the department and the discipline.
Cheers to another ten years!
Updates on the inoculated corns on the 5th DPI. Theres streaking on the leaves with the inoculum and no streaking for the negative control. Looking good so far. Disease intensity will be measures on the 7th and 14th DPI.
The technique we used were syringe leaf infiltration with a 1ml syringe. The inoculum were set at 0.2 OD. The water soaking were marked to then observe the disease onset after a specific DPI.
Screening bacteria for transformants and/or mutants is a very tedious endeavor. Today I found a couple of potentials! The bands are showing at the expected size so its 2/72. Colonies #49 and/or #56. I hope youre it!
