I had a great visit to Off the Wall Orchard in Concord New Hampshire, and learned about their successful story of using protective agriculture to grow organic apples under a humid climate. no water=less disease Thanks Ron for hosting me!🌿🍎

@hdweck99 Thank you so much, Hany! 🙏🏼

Excellent work by @FeliciaMillett and James Standish @UConnCAHNR

Excited to share our new preprint that shows a bacterial plant pathogen (Erwinia amylovora) can enter plants through naturally-occurring wounds from the abscission of trichomes https://t.co/AlUJiin5OF

Check out our recent publication which characterized the role of foraging pollinators in assembling the flower microbiota and transmitting the fire blight pathogen Erwinia amylovora! Nice work @SalmaMukhtar04 and all! https://t.co/1jLOiDcqgn

Beautiful northern light in Connecticut, USA!

@QuesadaLabNCSU @plantdisease One of your mentees just provided an excellent review for a paper I edited for Phytopathology. Your entire team is in support for our society journals in different ways. Thank you!

We are excited to recruit a PhD/MSc student to work on the bacterial plant pathogen P. syringae and its interactions with plasmids and phage. My group utilizes genomics, molecular bacteriology, protein biochemistry and fieldwork to study bacterial evolution 🧫🌱 Please share! 🤩

[Lindsay Triplett 🌱 @triplettlr]

Check out our new Phytobiomes first look paper led by Stephen Taerum! He observed that inoculating plants with a low number of rhizosphere protist isolates consistently established protist community. https://t.co/uLJx7FozMM

I'm very excited to share our work in preprint! We show the critical role of Pantoea agglomerans plasmids in onion pathogenicity. Thanks to Gina Shin, Jo Ann Asselin, Paul Stodghill, Lindsey Du Toit and the entire Stop the Rot team!

Excited to learn our non-transgenic canker-resistant citrus generated by crispr genome editing exempted by EPA, by APHIS, for use by growers! They are the 1st to receive EPA exemption for gene-edited plants! ThanksNIFA funding!Thanks@usda_nifa ⁦⁦@EPA⁩⁦@USDA_APHIS⁩
