Plant Disease Editorโs Pick: โThermotherapy via Aerated Steam is an Effective Alternative for Nonchemical Management of Cryptic Infection of Strawberry by Colletotrichum acutatum,โ by @marcusmarin_ et al. ๐ https://t.co/YzC7sk9aiI
Last fall, Hurricane Milton's winds and rain spread serious disease to Florida strawberry fields. @UFGulfCoastREC plant diagnostic lab helped growers act fast to protect their crops.
As we enter #HurricaneSeason, growers, please familiarize yourself with services offered by our plant diagnostics lab now โก๏ธ https://t.co/lK4A51gdqA
Available now! This visionary focus issue contains more than 25 articles addressing the gap in coordination and resources for plant disease diagnostic assay development and validation.

Saving Florida's Strawberries: Dr. @marcusmarin_ and a team of @UF_IFAS@UFGulfCoastREC researchers have identified and developed a test for a gene responsible for fungicide resistance in a disease that threatens Florida's 90,000-ton strawberry crop.https://t.co/SsyB1MOMst
We're experimenting with AI #scicomm tools. Check out our self-created Dr. Strawborg in the first image & @Adobe Firefly AI created Dr. Strawborgs in the next images. We're just getting started in our AI research! #UF@UFAEC@UFCALS@UF_IFAS
Excited to share our latest work published in @PhytopathologyJ We explored the genetic relationships of P. nicotianae isolates from Florida strawberry to genotypes from other hosts. This research is a step forward in understanding the complexities of #plant#pathogens.

Research led by @ufgulfcoastrec pathologist @marcusmarin_ identified genes that could tell us why one of the most damaging strawberry diseases (phytophthora crown rot) resists a commonly used fungicide.

No matter how many times this appears on my timeline I will always retweet it! Thank you @UNBiodiversityโ it's about time the #Fungi get the recognition they deserve ๐
This color change triggered by pollinator phenomenon is more common than some may expect - for example Lantana camara too, yellow are newly opened unpollinated flowers, while red ones are older and pollination triggered the production of more anthocyanin. Plants are smart! ๐ค
