December 2016
- Our paper now published and shows sublethal fungicides alter mutation rates and potentially alters genomes: http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0168079
- Best of luck to undergraduate students Morgan and Josh as they pursue opportunities more closely related to their future careers.
November 2016
- Sajeewa’s manuscript accepted to PLoS ONE. Congratulations, Sajeewa!
- First departmental seminar by Nikita Gambhir entitled “Fungicide Sensitivity: Comparisons of Methods in a Model Plant Pathogen”
September 2016
- Submitted Thomas Miroini’s manuscript on chemigation and white mold control to Crop Protection – cross your fingers!
- Group photo taken (L to R): Everhart Lab in the Fall 2016: Anthony Pannullo, Thomas Miorini, Nikita Gambhir, Josh Hanson, Morgan Thompsen, Edgar Nieto, and Sydney Everhart
August 2016
- Edgar Nieto-Lopez receives a fellowship from CONACyT Mexico to support his research on Sclerotinia sclerotiorum from the U.S. and Mexico. He arrived at UNL this fall to begin doctoral studies. Welcome, Edgar!
- Thank you, APS, for recognition for research in epidemiology with the Schroth Faces of the Future Award! Just five early career scientists were selected. The award provided funds to support travel to the national meeting to give a in the Schroth Symposium at the APS national meeting. This is also where I got to meet up with former graduate colleagues, Lucky Mehra (K-State) and Brijesh Karakkat (UW-Madison).
June 2016
- Nikita Gambhir wins third place for her poster presented at the North Central Division APS meeting in Minneapolis and awarded a travel award to go there. Double-win!
May 2016
- Anthony Pannullo received the IANR ARD Undergraduate Student Research Award for his proposal entitled “Population genetic diversity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, causal agent of white mold disease of dry bean, and implications for fungicide resistance / disease management.” Way to go, Anthony!
January 2016
- We submitted two new proposals to the NSB to study soil microbial communities and a collaborative proposal with the Giesler lab to study Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.
- Also submitted was a proposal with the Jackson-Ziems lab to gain new knowledge of fungal foliar pathogens of corn.
