@PhytoaLEXIn_12 Delicious 🤌

@AlexWongScience Reply botrytis

Botrytis in the research vineyard! These clusters still need to hang for another week before rating so they’ll be extra “juicy” by then!

Absolute unit

I presented a QR code so large it was scannable from space!

@Tmiles_MSU @iamSLowder @OregonState @ShunpingD @WSU_Vit_Ext @FRAMEnetworks @Cfioriniae Me trying to get a tweet out before you. I was unsuccessful.

Day 3 of #gdpm2022 with @iamSLowder Going over rapid sampling techniques of 🍇powdery mildew! 🧤

This Friday a group of Master and PhD students from @osubpp are presenting their research proposals at the Graduate Student Celebration. You can join us in person or by Zoom! Register at the following link: oregonstate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6y…

Email signature changed, I'm officially a PhD candidate!

Trying to study for prelims…

Google Chrome’s auto translation gave me a good laugh 😂

@CedarWarman I see the same thing in fungal spore germination. But I have no good ideas as to why.

The environment/texture of the plate? Sensing and avoiding nearby tubes? Physical movement in the media?

What makes pollen tubes grow the same direction?

At a botanical garden these poor poinsettia were not having a great day at the hands (hyphae?) of Botrytis.

@WSU_Vit_Ext @iamSLowder 🙌🙌🙌

Worried about missing tomorrow’s abstract deadline for the 2022 Workshop on Grapevine Downy and Powdery Mildews? Don’t! The deadline has been Extended to January 20th! Tell your friends! convegni.unicatt.it/gdpm-home-abst…

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a PhD student that is interested in genomics and population genetics of cool and weird fungi to join us at @ClarkUniversity for the Fall 22 semester! For more info see the attached ad or go here: bit.ly/3kpaOYE Plz retweet!!

@mswiseman We do have a florescent scope, the ECHO Revolve. It’s amazing! No calcofluor so not sure what the rest of the staining is. May have over permeabilized the cell and DNA leaked out.

@AlexWongScience Oh my gosssssh... I was just looking for DAPI early this week and of course y'all have it. I thought I had the same issue years ago with Morchella... turns out they're multinucleate. You also using calcofluor? Also, does this mean y'all have a fluorescent scope?

DAPI stain of powdery mildew conidium. Big bright spot is the nucleus and the tiny speckles mitochondrial DNA? Maybe just poor staining technique. Thoughts?

Botrytis ratings done! 825 clusters rated twice. Thanks to the lab mates that were willing to handle a lot of rotted fruit!

@osu_bpp_grads @catiewram Great job Carie!… I mean Catie!
