TreePathoMycoLab Freiburg 🧬🌲🌳🍄🪵🦠🧫🔬

White rot caused by Heterobasidion parviporum causes severe damage to Norway spruce - Dr. Durodola et al. found a link to resistance in PaLAR3 locus in the trees 👏

Emerging fungal pathogens are increasingly affecting our #urbantrees. Today, we began an infection experiment to test their virulence. Our goal is to better understand the impact and dynamics between tree health and fungal pathogens. 🌿 #TreeResearch #EnvironmentalAwareness

⭐ I recently attended the @DAADIndia Scholarship Certificate Handover Ceremony, from @KatjaLasch and @GerScienceIndia . Joining @UniFreiburg under Professor @KaBlumenstein in the department of @TreePathoMyco from 1st October. ⭐ Looking forward for it 🔬.

The fascinating research world of dendrovirology got a new doctor today 🥳 Kira Köpke from the Humboldt University Berlin successfully defended her thesis about urban tree viruses. It was my honour and a pleasure being your examiner, Kira! You did so well! @UB3Guard

The #IUFRO2024 in Stockholm was amazing! Presenting our research, meeting new and old friends and colleagues, going on excursions, learning so much about forest challenges all over the world and getting INSPIRED for future reseach projects - an excellent experience! #networking

A big welcome to the new IUFRO President Daniela Kleinschmit, Germany, our first woman president! #IUFRO2024

Raising awareness on #genderequality and #diversity in the forest sector, Ida Wallin @IdaKWallin from the #ForGEDI network awarded our researcher Yasin Korkmaz @yasinkorkmzz with a prize for winning their quizz 👏 forgedi.org #IUFRO2024

In spontaneous need of a seminar room, we used our institute's kitchen - worked nicely 😁 The module ended now, it was great. Special thanks to my co-lecturer Yasin Korkmaz @yasinkorkmzz, guest lecturer Blessing Durodola @DuroBless and our technical assistance Sabine Diener 4/4

The students show their final presentations with so creative, interesting projects! 3/4

On excursion with our MSc students of the Forest Pathology module @UniFreiburg: finding #invasive fungal #pathogens, fruiting bodies of brown and white rot fungi and a high diversity of disease symptoms on the trees 🧵1/4

We are delighted to be welcoming you in our group, the Chair of Pathology of Trees @UniFreiburg very soon! Your expertise on #treehealth, #forestpathology and #mycology to further explore the #Diplodia Tip Blight pathogen and #endophyte antagonists will be a great asset!

Networking, exchanging thoughts, planning further steps, visiting new places, learning so much from you all - it was fun to attend the COSTaction meeting in Ireland last week!

90 Milliarden #Bäume wachsen in Deutschlands Wäldern, die meisten davon sind nicht gesund. Die Freiburger Wissenschaftlerin Kathrin Blumenstein @KaBlumenstein will ihnen helfen. Ihr Fokus: #Pilze. schwarzwaelder-bote.de/inhalt.natur-o…

To all the women working in research – Happy Women‘s Day! #InternationalWomensDay #IWD2024 #InvestInWomen #InspireInclusion #WomenInSTEM #WomenInScience

As one of the representatives of the Forestry Institute @UniFreiburg that hosted delegates of #ForstBW today, I introduced the research and teaching of my group, Pathology of Trees @TreePathoMyco. #Forestry #Mycology #Pathology #InvasiveSpecies

@anis_m_khokon Thank you so much 😊

@TreePathoMyco Amazing 🤩

Our research group, Pathology of Trees, has a logo now! #PathologyOfTrees #TreeHealth #NewLogo 🍃🔍🌿

🌳Happy Valentine's Day! This fascinating formation shows the intricate beauty of nature at a microscopic level 🔬🧫 Let's continue to explore symbiotic relationships of fungi and trees, the vital network within our ecosystems. #ValentinesDay #FungalArt #NatureIsAmazing 🍄

Today was inoculation day for the Pathology of Tree Group. Everyone helped to get MSc student Johanna Klama's trial started: Which #fungi in #urbantrees cause stem cankers during the dormant phase? And which #pathogens cooperate? Follow up comes in a few weeks. #forestpathology
