LSU Phytobacteriology Lab

Dr. Hari Karki, a previous graduate student from our lab, visited us last week. It was great meeting you, Sir! #LSU #LSUPPCP #Phytobacteriology #HamsLab

Visited our seed-primed rice plants inoculated with R. solani in Rice Station at Crowley, La., plus we had a great talk with our Rice Pathologist Dr. @felipedallalana! 🌾 📸 by @juanXtianO #RiceResearch #LSU #PPCP

Meet our undergraduate student, Jose Iracheta who joined our lab last Spring semester. He is currently working on the rice-associated Pantoea sp. #LSU #PPCPLSU #HamsLab

Meet the newest member of Ham’s Lab, Dr. Jose Cortes. He will be working mainly on GWAS and QTL mapping for bacterial panicle blight and sheath blight resistance of rice.

Mr. Jonas Padilla @jonasu21, a MS student in our lab presented his study on the identification of copper resistance genes in an onion-pathogenic strain of Burkholderia cenocepacia. @lsuppcpgsa #LSU #PlantPathology #GoTigers

Few pics from yesterday- during our Rice Research Station tour with the LSU Plant Breeding group, @hamslab2022 and other LSU students.

We are happy to announce our own lab website! You can check it out using this link lsuhamlab.weebly.com

My poster is up! See you tomorrow at 3:15-4:00pm. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. 😁 #PlantHealth2022 #WomenInScience @plantdisease @plantpathgrads

Ham’s Lab represents during the #PlantHealth2022 at #Pittsburgh. @jobelle_bruno @juanCEO_ @jonasu21 @plantpathgrads @plantdisease @lsuppcpgsa @LSUAgCenter

Our lab has lots of things to celebrate this year! A great reminder that hard work pays off. 🎉🎊 #PhDvoice #gradschool #LSU #LSUAgcenter

Please join us in congratulating @juanCEO_ as he successfully passed his general exam for PhD degree yesterday! 👏🎉

Inoculating our seed-treated soybean plants with Rhizoctonia solani. #biologicalcontrol #PlantPathology #LSU #Soybean #PlantHealth

Sampling bacterial panicle blight (BPB) in Louisiana rice fields. (Hey y’all, I could use some high heeled field boots 😂😅) #RiceResearch #phdlife @hamslab2022 @PhDVoice

Please join us in welcoming our new MS student! Franscisco Valle (@Francis86190616) is originally from Honduras. His research will focus on developing alternative materials and strategies in controlling soybean diseases.

It looks like they are ready to be inoculated with R. solani soon! #lsu #plantpathology #ricedisease #agcenter #ricepathology #diseasemanagement

The reward you get when you work outside the lab!

Isn't it pretty?! We've seen some PM on wheat leaves this spring, where the canopy is dense and moisture was received.

A great resource for plant virologists our there! 🌿🍅🌶️🍎🍌🌾🦠 Plant Virus Database: a resource for exploring the diversity of plant viruses and their interactions with hosts biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Some advantages of taking summer courses are smaller student/teacher ratios and the ability for you to focus solely on one class at a time. Explore: lsu.edu/summer/courses…
