We won two years in a row at the UCD Genome Center Halloween Symposium group costume competition! A special shoutout to Uri for winning third place as Princess Daisy in the single costume category. 👑 #Halloween #Metabolomics

We made blue lettuce! Highly visible in callus so far, thank you @ATinyGreenCell for the AeBlue chromoprotein 💙

Potential uses: visible marker in plant transformation, blue roses, maybe real blue turf grass for @BroncoSportsFB ? #BroncoBlue #BlueLettuce #BlueRose #LettuceLazuli

Congrats to three #UCDavis professors who have been elected as members of the National Academy of Sciences, including Richard Michelmore, distinguished professor with @UCDavisPlants & founding director emeritus of the @genomecenter. https://t.co/spsxCtvraa

I ordered @ATinyGreenCell's chromoprotein palette to do some agar art + science outreach.

But when my lab saw the rainbow plates, we decided it would be fun to see if we could express the purple chromoprotein TsPurple in lettuce.

Long story short, it worked :D #LavenderLettuce

Fuzzy white growths & yellow patches on lettuce? It could be downy mildew, a fascinating plant pathogen.

Congrats to the new Michelmore lab grads Dr. Luis Salazar and Dr. Amber Flores!! 🎉

[Joyful Microbe @joyfulmicrobe]

Ever heard of oomycetes? Dr. Kelsey Wood explains how these non-fungi can impact your food!

Listen to the podcast & explore downy mildew: https://t.co/S4WldJyk4C

Guess who turned 70 years young today?

The whole @michelmorelab collaborated on a mosaic watercolor painting for Richard's birthday (masterminded by @Lorena_B_Parra ) and there was a fantastic potluck (with our neighbors, the freshly arrived Meyers lab!)

The @michelmorelab caused a buzz with our group costume for the Halloween symposium: The Pollinators! And congrats to the lab pumpkin carvers who won 1st place with Berta the witch #Halloween 🎃 @genomecenter

Cool photo from @klsywd!

Presence of several nuclei, from different parents, (heterokaryosis) is an important aspect of life in oomycete pathogens. It complicates analysis of the pathogen population diversity

We are very excited to welcome Blake Meyers and his laboratory to the UCD @genomecenter !

[UCDavisPlants @UCDavisPlants]

We will have a new director @UCDavis Genome Center! Blake Meyers, left, @CalAggieAlumni will succeed founding director Richard Michelmore in March. https://t.co/5RNdfdo19g #1intheWorldPlantSciences #PlantsforthePlanet #FeedthePlanet @ucdaviscaes #genomics #plantgenetics

[María Ferrer @mferrerruiz]

Grateful to ISMPMI organizers & sponsors for an exceptional conference! Presenting my research project with all of you was an amazing experience. Looking forward to the next conference in a couple of years to advance in plant-microbe interactions knowledge together!
