A new preprint from our lab, a study led by amazing graduate student, Rishi Bhandari Rishi Bhandari biorxiv.org/content/10.110… We would love to get feedback from the community (peer review, public comments, anonymous comments, or email us).

This #Halloween, we’re talking about how plants become zombies! 🎃🧟 Intrigued? Find out how this happens below⬇️ Image credit: Babet van Wijk, Saskia Hogenhout 1/7

Happy to share our work on understanding evolutionary processes underlying host range in xanthomonads using genome-wide association apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/10.1094/PH…

Our lab at Auburn is looking for a research associate to support our project on tomato microbiome under biotic and abiotic stress. To apply: auemployment.com/postings/35383 Please RT!

Still accepting applications for this position. The candidate will have opportunity to work in a highly collaborative project funded by AFRI-SAS. agriculture.auburn.edu/research/resea… Auburn Agriculture

Editor’s Pick! A genome-wide association study by Eric Newberry et al. surprisingly revealed 2 novel gene candidates that were significantly associated with pepper-pathogenic Xanthomonas perforans & Xanthomonas euvesicatoria. Freely read now: doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-… Neha Potnis

Check out our new preprint where we examined how co-occurring weak pathogens can influence the dominant pathogen population dynamics and overall disease outcome in co-infection! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A new preprint! Previously, we observed that mutation in the core T6SS gene in Xanthomonas leads to highly aggressive disease symptoms. We followed up on this observation with the RNA-Seq to see how T6SS is involved in regulating the virulence.

The time has come! Excited to present the new vibrant cover art for my R for Plant Disease Epidemiology (R4PDE) book by the incomparable Helen Pennington! Thank you Helen! 🙏 r4pde.netlify.app

#2023ISMPMI officially starts. Excited to be here.

Excellent conversations with industry leaders to excel either in academia or industry at #2023ISMPMI Travel awardee career workshop. And chance to meet with none other than Sophien Kamoun. Thank you for all your advices.

So much FUN organizing the IS-MPMI DEI social Edel Pérez-López ! Kudos to @RogerInnes1 for prioritizing a celebration of our community’s diversity and Edel Pérez-López and Kevin Cox Jr for leading discussion groups. Let’s make this a fixture at all upcoming meetings. #2023ISMPMI

Super happy to share that my first paper as a postdoc in Auburn University is out. Thanks Neha Potnis for the opportunity and I would like to extend my thanks to all my lab members palash ghosh Rishi Bhandari for the help and support. doi.org/10.1128/spectr…

Happy to see this work finally out! A great collaboration with Marie-Agnès Jacques, Jeff Jones, Boris Vinatzer, Tal Pupko, and Joint Genome Institute! academic.oup.com/gbe/article/16…
