  3. Wu et al. discuss recent work on systemic stomatal immunity (SSIM), a fast-acting, targeted #plant #defense mechanism in which #pathogen challenge triggers distal stomatal closure within hours.

  6. Why Florida’s Orange Industry Is In Free Fall

    People like to complain about agricultural inspections at borders, but preventing something like this is why inspections are needed.

  7. Free, but to ASHS members only, I guess.

    ASHS is a good professional society if you're interested in fruit-growing and vegetable production. They do have a student level of membership too.

  12. 🚨 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.

  21. Study Analyzes Potato-Pathogen ‘Arms Race’ After Irish Famine

    In an examination of the genetic material found in historic potato leaves researchers reveal more about the tit-for-tat evolutionary changes occurring in both potato plants and the pathogen that caused the 1840s Irish potato famine.

  23. "It turns out that millions of elms still exist across the UK, particularly in southern England, as small hedgerow shrubs. In fact, these stunted relics are, according to one government plant pathologist, more numerous than the pre-epidemic elm population"

    Disease has killed most of the UK’s elm trees since the 1960s – but there are signs they may be making a comeback

  24. 🤔Have you ever wondered what VOC proteins do?
    Guo et al. did. And what they discovered will improve our understanding of #plant-#virus interactions!

  25. Always a nice surprise to get a mysterious package of diseased plant material in the mail. This one is likely Pseudomonas savastanoi pv. nerii causing galls on oleander leaves 🧪#plantpathology

  26. Scientists develop rapid gene-screening platform to boost disease resistance in crops

    Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in molecular plant pathology, marking a technological leap forward for breeding durable disease-resistant crops.

  27. We're honoured to be able to host Prof. Elaine Davison's penultimate scientific presentation. Prof. Davison visited Curtin University on 16/02/2024 and talked about efforts to keep gravel free from Phytophthora. openplantpathology.org/posts/2 #NotAFungus #PlantPathology #OpenScience #AppliedResearch

  28. Does anyone know what #PlantDisease is attacking my tomatoes?

    The leaves are developing yellow blotches that start to crisp at the edges. Some of them have a lesion in the middle. And a very few have some dark spots. See pics.
