Thrilled to share our Pseudomonas alliivorans research at the #UGA Plant Center Retreat! Had just 5 minutes to explain how we’re mining its genome for adaptation genes—and managed to bring home 3rd place! 🏆 #PlantPathology

Emily was my first undergrad mentee when I joined UGA last year! In the first picture, we were at GAPP2023, where she was presenting her first poster after only two months of working with me in the lab…
Had an amazing time presenting my work on Pseudomonas alliivorans at #PlantHealth2024!
Join me in celebrating this achievement! This publication represents a significant milestone in our understanding of the diversity and evolution of nonpathogenic xanthomonads compare to their pathogenic counterparts!

Happy to see this work finally out! A great collaboration with Marie-Agnès Jacques, Jeff Jones, @VinatzerLab, Tal Pupko, and @jgi! academic.oup.com/gbe/article…
Just out of the ‘press’: 22 years since the publication of the first Xanthomonas genome, with almost a third of the genes coding for hypothetical proteins, we have one less on the list!
ORF XAC0024 is an encV homolog from X.citri strain 306!

Happy to see our paper on #Pseudomonas species associated with #BLS in cucurbits published!!

Excited to lead this NIFA funded OREI project to find solutions against bacterial rot in organic onions 🧅 @ugaCAESresearch @UGAPlantPath @UGAExtension @USDA_NIFA @UGATifton newswire.caes.uga.edu/story/…
Xanthomonas community: Our New preprint is out today… @NWangUF @DoronTeper
We showed how EnvC (an E. coli M23 peptidase homolog) contributes to the virulence and cell separation of X. citri, the causal agent of citrus canker.

It’s poster presentation day at #PlantHealth2023
Come see me and talk about Pathogenic Bacteria on Vegetables @plantdisease @BhabeshDutta5
Session: POSTERS: New and Emerging Diseases I
Date: Monday, August 14, 2023
Time: 5:00:00 PM - 5:45:00 PM
Poster Number: P-361
Got my #PlantHealth2023 badge and some stickers representing @UGA_CollegeofAg and our favorite vegetable! #sweetonion #Vidaliaonion – at Denver, CO
Started #PlantHealth2023 with a great Field Trip to the USDA ARS National Laboratory for Genetic Resources Preservation (NLGRP) in Ft. Collins, Colorado.
Thanks to @plantdisease and the APS Collections and Germplasm Committee for organizing the field trip! – at Denver, CO
We've done so much this summer in Dutta's lab!
From field and greenhouse trials, bacterial isolation and diagnosis, seed extraction and pathology testing, not to mention the chance to teach and train my amazing students!
