Fun announcement this morning. A testament to all the fantastic folks I’ve had the privilege of working with in the lab!

The Budke Lab UTK EEB is recruiting #PhD students to start fall 2025. Applications due Dec 1. Check out our lab website to see if your research interests are a good fit jmbudke.github.io & then reach out via email. Please RT & thanks! #gradschool #phdjourney

How do you quantify the natural variation of plant immunity? Thrilled to announce the preprint publication of our superb collaboration effort led by Gautam Shirsekar, @PlantEvolution, Luisa Teasdale, and Kevin Murray on inferring NLR biodiversity across natural Arabidopsis accessions. 🌱

Do we have to choose between chocolate and biodiversity? UT Institute of Agriculture researchers received a $120,000 grant from NIFA to find out. Led by graduate student Holly Brabazon, the team is studying wild cacao trees in Belize to promote sustainable farming.#epptn tiny.utk.edu/utia-researche…

This is a great resource! I use some of these as examples of how to write a beautifully crafted proposal in my writing class.

Greatly recommended!, amazing supervisor, exciting science and ensured fun. What are you waiting to apply??!!!

“Direct from Nature” brought together an #ecologist, Dana Warren, #forest #pathologist, David Shaw, and #art #historian, Harper Loeb-great presentation focusing on how 19th century landscape paintings can provide insights into environmental changes in eastern forests.

Our latest research on position-dependent transcriptional regulatory sequences in plants is now published! 🌿 More details in our preprint tweet and in this thread! 👇 nature.com/articles/s4158… 📄🔍 (1/5)

How did I miss this one rb.gy/7t7wwf maybe is time to reconsider talking about Growth-defense trade-offs and start considering changes in growth and life history traits as part of defense mechanisms. Our results rb.gy/qyt30u and rb.gy/4huf3e

Researchers from the UC Berkeley lab of Professor Rodrigo Almeida used bacterial DNA from a 120-year-old herbarium specimen to reconstruct the history of how Pierce’s disease—which causes more than $100 million in losses a year—spread across California. news.berkeley.edu/2024/12/16/wha…

Recent Herbert College of Agriculture graduate Rachel Carpenter used her HERO internship to gain hands-on experience. She now works as a research technician for the CoEvolution Lab, where she channels her lifelong passion for science. #epptn UT Institute of Agriculture UT Knoxville Learn More: epp.tennessee.edu/building-a-car…

Congratulations to Anugya Bhattarai on receiving the 2025 Steven C. Nelson Early Career Development Fellowship from The American Phytopathological Society. With support from APS, Anugya will visit study how robotic tools and deep learning can help identify wild grapes resistant to downy mildew. #epptn
