ToBRFV-induced symptoms and virus accumulation in infected tomato and tobacco plants at 22 °C, Trial 1. (a) ToBRFV-induced HR (hypersensitive response) local lesions appeared on all 11 inoculated tomatoNN leaves at 4 days post-inoculation (4 dpi), whereas no lesions appeared on inoculated leaves of 11 VF36, Tomato::Tm-22, or Moneymaker plants at 4 dpi. (b) Systemic leaves of 11 ToBRFV-infected tomatoNN were asymptomatic at 14 dpi, whereas leaves of VF36 and Moneymaker displayed mosaic and rugose patterns, and tomato::Tm22 leaves displayed rugose and shoestring growth. (c) ToBRFV-induced HR lesions on 11 inoculated Samsun NN plants at 4 dpi but not on inoculated Samsun nn plants. Systemic leaves of ToBRFV-infected Samsun NN plants remained asymptomatic at 14 dpi, whereas leaves of Samsun nn exhibited mosaic disease.

Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College
ChatGPT has unraveled the entire academic project.
This is among the most depressing things I have ever read, and makes me very nervous about the ability for any of these daily ChatGPT users to independently problem-solve or think creatively: nymag.com/intelligence...

For the foreseeable future I think our lab meetings will include a discussion of what is going on science policy-wise in the US. I don’t have many answers, but will share what I know and my plans. Being honest and transparent in difficult situations can be empowering.
