A great open-access resource!🌾🧬 R genes are valuable targets for crop improvement.📚 Our chapter, “Rapid cloning of disease resistance genes in wheat” reviews resources and methods used to identify and validate candidate genes. @FarisGenLab

Excited to announce a new ORISE Post-Doc Fellowship opportunity in my lab: "USDA-ARS Fellowship on Improvement of Disease Resistance in Spring Oat Using Genomics and Phenomics". Includes healthcare + $5k relocation allowance. Find out more & apply here: zintellect.com/Opportunity/De…

@SandeepTweetR @oneandJHONly That’s fantastic! Congratulations🎉 awesome to see two @WheatCAP students on the working group.

@oneandJHONly Congratulations @oneandJHONly and new entire team

Thrilled to be serving as the Chair of the National Association of Plant Breeders - Graduate Student Working Group (2023 - 2024). 😊 I'm pretty excited to be working with (and for) future Plant Breeders! 😉

I’ve developed KASP that are 99-100% accurate when predicting insensitivity to ToxA in durum and bread wheat. Please reach out if you want to use these markers to reduce tan spot, septoria blotch, and spot blotch susceptibility. @FarisGenLab

Great to share progress on this project. Glad to hear current research on Septoria nodorum blotch in wheat at the Foliar Disease Complexes of Cereals Symposium. #fdcc

@swas_kaushal @TAMWheat @J_SBaker @AibrahimAmir Thank you! It is great to have students excited to learn. I’m glad it was a valuable learning opportunity 🌾

🌾 A heartfelt thank you to @KLDRunning @TAMWheat @J_SBaker and @AibrahimAmir for their invaluable assistance throughout the workshop. Their support and dedication made the event run smoothly and enhanced our learning experience. 🙌 #Gratitude

📢 Thrilled to attend a 3-day UAS workshop in @a_agrilife Amarillo, Texas! 🙌 A big shoutout to @WheatCAP for organizing this amazing workshop! Grateful for fostering knowledge sharing in the agricultural community! 👏 #WheatCap #KnowledgeSharing

@oneandJHONly Get two! Good name ideas. I had favorite scientists on my short list of potential names but my first cat looked like a Night Fury from How to Train Your Dragon. So, he is Fury.

I feel like I need a cat... and then I'm gonna name it Don (short for Deoxynivalenol) or Fuzzy (for Fusarium). 😼😸

Most plants contain resistance genes that recognize pathogens and protect plants from developing disease but ARS scientists discovered a new gene may hijack wheat's ability to fight disease. Read more in the first part of our “Fungus Series” loom.ly/ciBRY6s #DiscoverARS

@PukaBeals Looks like a foliar pathogen overwintered on your un-tilled grass. UMN Extension could probably ID if you send a sample to the Plant Disease Clinic.

Barley planted into grass mixtures is looking sick. Barley not planted into the grass mixture is looking fine. Was expecting spottier emergence of barley that was no-till drilled into the grass, but not expecting these leaf symptoms. What is happening?

The Faris lab in conjunction with other USDA and NDSU wheat breeders and pathologists are currently looking for a postdoc to work on bacterial leaf streak in wheat. Please RT. wheat.pw.usda.gov/GG3/content/po…

#PAGXXIX is now virtual and the #IWGSC workshop will take place as planned 🗓️ Saturday 8 January ⏲️ 8:00 to 10:10am PST (11:00am to 1:10pm EST) 👉 Agenda wheatgenome.org/Meetings-and-W… Registered attendees will receive an email on how the virtual conference format will work.

My dad teaches a 2.5 hr capstone class over dinner time. Students were getting hangry and rushing through their work to go eat dinner. So, he is making the class dinner. This week was stew and 🥖. Everyone stayed the whole class. Proud of all he does to help his students succeed!

New foster kittens know just where to pose❤️

@claire_pythium @NDSU That was identified as factor that influenced women’s decision to hesitate accepting a position at NDSU in a 2008 survey.

@BeerbowerSci Network adapter shifted

@KLDRunning What needed fixed?

The cat broke my laptop. Fiancé fixed it. Cat is not sorry.

The culprit. Avoiding eye contact.

Everything inside a laptop looks very small and fragile. I have no desire to see inside a laptop again.

Happy #cdnagday2021! Thankful for the tractor ride alongs, morning chores, bottle babies, calving and harvest seasons my family shared with me. Decided to study nectrotrophic fungal pathogens in wheat while harvesting wheat with my uncle in Manitoba.

Join us on 11 March at 11am EST for a webinar on disease resistance mechanisms in wheat presented by Justin Faris @FarisGenLab . Information & registration register.gotowebinar.com/register/48545…
