Faris Lab

Always a fun to see old friends and colleagues at #PAG32, especially when it’s your PhD adviser. Great to catch up with Bikram Gill again! #legend #wheat #Genetics

#PAG31 is a wrap for the Faris Lab. Presented multiple talks and posters on genetics of tan spot, septoria nodorum, BLS, and yield. We are excited and energized to get back to work and move the science forward! @kadian11pooja @PfaffTiana_7 @acharya_krish87

Faris Lab members @kadian11pooja and @acharya_krish87 evaluating populations for resistance to bacterial leaf streak in #wheat. Good resistance QTLs from different sources identified. Can’t wait to stack and clone!

@KLDRunning wrapping up the #fdcc by showing that the tan spot susceptibility gene Tsc1 in wheat is a protein kinase-LRR on chromosome 1A.

@PfaffTiana_7 identified a new Ptr ToxB-induced susceptibility gene on wheat chromosome 5B that is epistatically controlled by the gene Tsc2. #fdcc

@Gurmnder_Singh: cloning of the tan spot susceptibility gene Tsc2 in wheat revealed that it was not the candidate that he expected! #fdcc

Zhaohui Liu kicking off day 2 of the #fdcc talking about the detection and quantification of wheat leaf blotch diseases in the field using qPCR.

@T_L_Friesen explaining the genetics of barley-P. teres interactions. #fdcc

Ryan Skiba identifying novel virulence loci on the barley pathogen P. teres f. maculata in @T_L_Friesen lab. #fdcc

Tailgating in the parking lot for our mid-morning break at the 1st annual Foliar Disease Complex of Cereals Symposium in Fargo. #fdcc

@KLDRunning describing her work on cloning and identification of multiple SnTox5 sensitivity genes named Snn5 in durum wheat. Snn5-B2 more common in durum than Snn5-B1. #fdcc

Dr. Sudeshi Seneviratne explaining that numerous genetic loci in wheat act as sensitivity targets for the P. nodorum necrotrophic effector SnTox267. #fdcc

PhD student Pooja Kumari talking about the identification of introgression lines with robust and broad resistance to wheat SNB. #fdcc
