  3. Scientist pleaded guilty to smuggling #Fusarium #graminearum into #US. But what is it?
    It causes a disease in #barley and #wheat called Fusarium head blight, or scab. It can also damage #rice and rot #corn ears and stalks. In severe cases, scab could cut a farm’s yield by 45%!
    Its responsible for some of greatest annual crop losses in US. In 2024 extension & research plant pathologists suggested scab reduced US wheat crop by approximately 31 million bushels or roughly 2%.

  5. The FBI has arrested two Chinese #scientists, accused of introducing #fusarium, a fungus harmful to crops, into the country. The case is a continuation of the #economic #war and the pressures on China, which are concentrating on #science and #technology and on the engineers and specialists who promote them.

  6. Not racist or xenophobic. Samples of a #Fusarium species not native to the hemisphere. It *could* absolutely be a non-malicious stupid grad student trick, but it was a dangerous one with incalculable risk.

    Crop pathogens make history. bird.makeup/users/macfarlanene

    UPDATE: I apparently read wrong about the species: it does exist here and causes Fusarium Head Blight in barley and wheat. Unclear whether this was something special, i.e. why sneak it in? Why not get some here?

  7. The U.S. Attorney's office *maybe* went over the top in claiming to know the motivations. It could also be as simple as overly enthusiastic nerdage and not wanting to have to leave their labs to do research.

    But yeah, this was stupid. At the very least the researcher at UofM should be fired.

  9. 🚨 First Look! My latest peer-reviewed co-authorship is now online in Phytopathology Journal 🧬🌾

    📰 Fusarium avenaceum isolates from pea, wheat, & lentil were tested on these three host crops. Pea-derived isolates were the most "aggressive," which motivated our conclusion that inclusion of pea in a crop rotation can increase the incidence & severity of head blight in wheat.

  11. Winding down my #Fusarium #SpatialImmunity Project, which I started 5 years ago in 🇦🇺. 😥 In 🇦🇺 I created >850 plant lines for the project (which FedEx lost, recovered, 2xflew back-n-forth 🇦🇺/🇩🇪), in my 2 years @mpipz.bsky.social I added another 500 lines. Mostly fluorescent markers for #PlantImmunity.

  25. Asparagus growing in the UK. It seems like I might have problems with phytopthora and fusarium. I planted 12 crowns in spring 2021, only one now survives. I also planted seeds and I am growing on the plants in pots. Are there any other gardeners on here who have dealt with this? Advice on companion planting. I have heavy clay soil in Sheffield, 200m up, cool site. I am using woodchip and compost to lighten soil. horticulture.ahdb.org.uk/news/
