Stem rust in Prosper, ND.

[NDSU Plant Genetics & Rust Pathology @rustpathology]

Our very talented Postdoctoral Scientist Dr. Giseli Valentini recently mentored a brilliant and hard-working high school student Parthiv Allirajan for six weeks. The research results were presented in the Summer Poster Session at NDSU.

A well executed stem rust epidemic is crucial for selecting superior resistant germplasm. Our stem rust inoculated spring wheat trial in Fargo, ND was designed to achieve that goal.

Leaf rust inoculated nursery in Fargo, ND. Good infection to select resistant lines.

[NDSU Plant Genetics & Rust Pathology @rustpathology]

Our inoculated leaf rust nursery at Langdon, ND displays 100% disease severity on susceptible checks. However, natural infection was negligible on other trials.

Stripe rust in variety trials at Hettinger, North Dakota.

[NDSU Plant Genetics & Rust Pathology @rustpathology]

Stripe rust evaluations at Dickinson, ND. Natural disease pressure is so high this year

[NDSU Plant Genetics & Rust Pathology @rustpathology]

Spring wheat variety trials at Casselton, ND. Stripe rust is looking bad on susceptible lines.

[Upinder Gill @ugill10]

Do you work on bean rust pathogen Uromyces_appendiculatus? How is the rust population diversity in your region?

[Upinder Gill @ugill10]

Thank you North Central APS and @KSUPlantDr for organizing such an amazing and productive meeting. Thanks to my mentors/supervisors and @NDSUPlantPath for their consistent support and my team’s hard work @rustpathology

[NDSU Plant Genetics & Rust Pathology @rustpathology]

And it’s a wrap…..Successfully defended my master’s in plant pathology today! Wuhuuu 🥳👩🏻‍🌾👩‍🎓. A big thank you to my advisor @ugill10 and committee members @BarneyGeddes @zhhliu2004 and Dr. Rasmussen. NDSU, you’ve been great! #gobison

[Shivreet Kaur @shivreet_kaur]

Thrilled to share that I was a recipient of the 2023 Gerald O. Mott Award for Meritorious Graduate Students in Crop Science! 🎉

[NDSUPlantPathology @NDSUPlantPath]

Congratulations to @shivreet_kaur in the @rustpathology with Dr. @ugill10 research at the GSD research day!

We are so proud of you.

[Shivreet Kaur @shivreet_kaur]

Absolutely thrilled to share that I was awarded the Distinguished Graduate Student Award by Gamma Sigma Delta and was inducted as a member of this society, a great honour! Also, got the chance to present at GSD research day and bagged the first position!🥳
