Congratulations to my advisor, Pablo Olivera Firpo for his well deserved APS (The American Phytopathological Society) Excellence in International Service Award. Making @UMNPlantPath proud!

#Rust on French sorrel (#Rumex scutatus) caused by #Puccinia pedunculata, here with beautiful clusters of uredinia and urediniospores (Coutarnoux, FR).

The stripe rust (Puccinia pseudostriiformis) and stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. poae) is out in full force right now, sometimes on the same leaf of of Kentucky Bluegrass

Had a lot of fun with this talk. Publication coming very soon. Thanks to iNaturalist and everyone who has provided samples or posted an observation of rust on glossy buckthorn

Is this a joke...?

Common buckthorn berries make a very nice gold dye.

Happy to share that my the first publication from my dissertation is being published in Plant Disease. It's now available as a first look through APS. I'll be sharing more as we finish up with the final formatting. Lots of beautiful rust pics to come!

Heads up: nick greatens will deliver his PhD defense on #Puccinia coronata var. coronata and other recently observed #RustFungi in MN on Wed, 5/31, 1pm CT. Anyone is welcome to attend in person or online - Borlaug Hall room 365 or on Zoom at umn.zoom.us/j/96997441582

if anyone has some free time today ...

CBS WCCO | CBS News Minnesota joined Drs. Pablo Olivera Firpo and nick greatens on campus to discuss using crown rust against #buckthorn. They got a first-hand look at the fungal infection on the invasive species. U of M Research CFANS @UMNPlantPath cbsnews.com/minnesota/news… Work funded by MN ENRTF

Cereal-infecting rust fungi carry 2⃣ genomes in separate nuclei! With PacBio and Phase Genomics we sort out 30 haplotypes from oat crown rust to uncover nuclear exchange, cryptic recombination, and migration. doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… Jana Sperschneider Melania Figueroa CSIRO 🧵⬇️ 1/4

The sweetgrass I am growing is filled with rust this year. nick greatens found this was crown rust that also attacks buckthorn. Rust or no rust it goes into the sweetgrass braids
