¿Hay alguien que no sienta, al menos, un atisbo de bienestar al ver este tucán? Se llama biofilia #Ramphastos brevis

Widely available soybean resistance genes to Phytophthora stem and root rot, caused by Phytophthora sojae, Rps1c and Rps1k are no longer widely effective in the United States, Canada, and Argentina. nature.com/articles/s4146… @SpringerNature @NatureComms

Don’t miss this trending paper from our new focus issue! Findings by @HengAnLin1 and @smideros reveal the soybean phyllosphere mycobiome and open the possibilities of targeted manipulation of fungal infection to improve foliar disease management. 🔓 Read: doi.org/10.1094/PBIOME…

@nature surveyed >9,000 scientists to see how their use us the platform changed since Elon Musk took over. Under 7% have stopped using it altogether and around 46% have joined other social-media platforms. Find the details in my article. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Had a great time sharing dinner with former @cerroscigalpa, current @mara_krone, and future @BorisCamiletti Illinois Plant Health scientists at #PlantHealth2023

Don't miss this opportunity! Register symposium.cropsciences.illinois.edu for 2023 Corteva Agriscience Plant Sciences Symposium. #Cortevaagriscience #plantsciences #uiuc

Glad to see a full table in the Phyllosphere Microbiology Committee networking hour this afternoon! Thanks for everyone who stopped by to engage with us! Shout out to our vice co-chair (co-chair to be) @HengAnLin1 for always being supportive in the committee leadership!

Congratulations to Mara Krone for winning the Pitch 120 competition at #PlantHealth2023 @ACESIllinois

We found evidence of resistance to Pythium root rot in corn. Check our poster (P673). We will be there today at 5 pm #PlantHealth2023

What is the effect of host resistance on plant pathogen populations? Don’t miss our poster (P147) presentation on the impact of wheat resistance on Fusarium graminearum. We will be there at 4:15 pm #PlantHealth2023

Editor’s Pick! @cerroscigalpa et al. characterized 2 Phytophthora spp. by virulence, aggressiveness, & fungicide sensitivity. This characterization can inform management decisions for PRR of soybean in Illinois. 🔓 doi.org/10.1094/PDIS-0… @ILplantdoc @smideros @IllinoisCropSci

Seeing K deficiency in soybeans after rainfall events in some fields near Urbana. Typical symptom is yellowing of leaf margins that usually begin at the leaf tip and extend down the margin towards the leaf base. @IllinoisCropSci @ILextension
