Excited to share that an article from my PhD is now available for @plantdisease @phytofrontiers First Look! Thanks to all co-authors and @jgi for the support. Check it out👇
A high-quality genome resource for the oak wilt pathogen Bretziella fagacearum apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/1…

Why we should care: science is arguably the most important force for human progress, maybe by a lot. More discoveries, better lives for all of us.
If there’s a kid who could make a foundational discovery, we want to make sure they don’t spend their lives in the mines. 2/N

My host range characterization of Phytophthora sansomeana study is now available in @PlantDiseaseJ . I investigated the host range on known and unknown agriculturally relevant hosts using phenotypic, culturing, and qPCR techniques. Fungicide testing also:

Great news to kick off the weekend! My/our (science is a team effort) paper on a complete #genome resource of the #oakwilt fungus, #Bretziellafagacearum, has been accepted in @plantdisease PhytoFrontiers, with minor revisions suggested! #nuclear #mitochondrial #chromosomes🧬🍄

Hot off the press...Oak Wilt testing can now be done with leaves instead of branch segments, which makes testing more accessible to individual residents. Learn more in this article from our very own Laura Miles!

Plant Health Progress Best Student Paper Award by Jill Check et al. found that increasing plant density can reduce tar spot severity, but it might not be the most profitable disease management strategy. @CheckJill @MartinChilvers1 @MSU_PSM doi.org/10.1094/PHP-12-22-01…

Hey Midwest pals! As temps rise, #oakwilt fungal mats are forming. lt means beetles carrying spores are on the move. Don't let them land on your oak wounds! Best advice? Hold off on pruning until mid-July to keep those oaks safe. Zoom in to see sap beetles👇 #OakWiltAwareness

(paraphrasing) "you are in a room full of people who are here to help you fix this". That has changed my view of my research and our community. As Plant Biologists, we wake up everyday, give our all to remedy this "wicked problem", and that gives me hope and desire to collaborate

🚨Urgent update for Michigan chestnut growers 🌳🌰. #OakWilt disease is devastating chestnuts by actively spreading to adjacent trees through root grafts. Keep an eye out for wilting trees this summer and send samples to diagnostic labs for confirmation. #PlantHealth

This paper should (but probably won't) put an end to the claims that "just letting forests grow" is a super-powerful climate solution that we are somehow missing.
