The latest from my PhD!
Eastern larch beetle is impacting over 1 million acres in Minnesota - 4 new species of Ophiostomatales just described that are associated with this beetle tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.… photo by US Forest Service
A new study from my PhD was just published in Phytobiomes Journal! We repeatedly sampled ash stands in Minnesota over a 4 year period to determine how the fungal and bacterial communities changed as the trees were attacked by the emerald ash borer.

Time flew by! It was wonderful having Jorge in our team. We will miss him very much! Looking forward to many more collaborations in the near future! @UFPlantPath @UFTropical @UF_IFAS
Incredible learning experience with @ClinicPlant!! I was happy to share the one-year knowledge and experience with my lab mates and friends @labmanagershel, @andrewmann_ and Amanda Sandford. Missing in the photo @CaSendoyaC_!

The lab got a master class 👨🔬 on #laurelwilt #diagnostics #avocado using LAMP 🧬 by @fungindrublic!
Stay tuned for the release of our new protocol and new set of primers to detect the pathogen directly from infected material in less than 30 minutes ⏰

And just like that- the week is over 😮💨We hosted high schoolers, organized and hosted a workshop on #biologicals, continued two @IR4_Project trials on #pitaya #dragonfruit and #avocado, conducted Koch’s postulates 🥑🥑and most importantly, celebrated lab comings and goings, birthdays, and successful grants 🥳🍾🍻! #gators 🐊🐊

Another busy week at the lab! 🔬🧫👩🏼🔬👨🔬🧪 Processing cultures collected in #Taiwan from multiple Lauraceae trees 🌳 including #avocado 🥑, a banana 🍌 sample from Virgin Islands, in vitro metabolite assays to evaluate the growth inhibition potential of #Trichoderma against the #laurelwilt pathogen, and of course more plant clinic samples 🏥

Second day of taking #avocado samples for residue testing. This time we sampled trees that were drenched with the flutriafol product 🧪. Looking forward to seeing the results and hoping concentrations are optimal to prevent the infection, movement, and multiplication of the #laurelwilt pathogen🤞🏻🤞🏻!
Great job by @andrewmann_ @CaSendoyaC_ @fungindrublic

We are always surrounded by #fungi 🍄cultures 🧫, the good ones #Trichoderma and the bad ones #plantpathogens.
Here @andrewmann_ and @carlosdlt280 looking at isolates from #avocado in the search for potential #biological control agents and our new @NSF intern Nathan working on identifying fungi recovered from #ambrosia #beetles.
Lots of good stuff coming soon💪🏼🤓
