When farmers face #mushroom disease and crop loss, they call this fun guy. @UFPlantPath's Samuel Martins and collaborators from several partner institutions recently received a $3.5 million @USDA_NIFA grant to tackle this problem and find solutions for the industry.

Congratulations to my graduate student Allison Coomber who successfully defended her PhD thesis today! Phylogenetic and sequence based analysis to understand the evolution in P. infestans &1c clade species @NC_PSI @GESCenterNCSU @NCSU_DEPP









APHIS PPQ PPCDL scientists got to spend a day with the amazing @RistainoJean and @AmMainello looking at the smartphone LAMP detection of Phytophthoras! Thanks for the visit and looking forward to more…






Great fun surprising and celebrating Amanda Mainello’s upcoming wedding! Great multi ethnic potluck and cake! Congratulations bride-to-be @NCSU_DEPP @NC_PSI

NC State Researchers Assemble Pathogen ‘Tree of Life’ | NC State News. We’ve done it! My graduate student Allison Coomber has developed a comprehensive living phylogeny of Phytophthora. @NCSU_DEPP @OomycetePapers @NCState news.ncsu.edu/2023/04/resear…

Congrats to grad. student Amanda Maniello (left) for 2nd place in the poster competition at SD APS and to Jyotsna Acharya, and Amanda Saville who helped with the research. Postdoc Tatsiana Shymanovitch and Allison Coomber also presented posters. Well done! @NCSU_DEPP @sd_aps

The best part about scientific meetings is the networking. This is #SDAPS2023 in Durham, NC. Lots of awesome #PlantPathologists and interesting #pathosystems. It’s great to meet the next generation of scientists who focus on #PlantHealth
