Apparently it's Huernia aka the lifesaver cactus plant. I have been wanting it for a while. It also has rotten meat scent for the flies. Yes. I burn incense everyday in my office. So hopefully it looks pretty and doesn't smell so bad. 🤣

Welcome gift - a plant? OMG YES!

Thank you Dr. Andrea Lucky for the first plant in my new office.

I am looking for a PhD student in #molecularbiology #biochemistry #bioinformatics to work with #plants and #nematodes

My adviser organized a surprise farewell and sent me away with 5 UW Madison gifts for the 5 years I spent with him. The weather cooperated for a Terrace hangout. So long. Farewell.

Overexpression of α-SNAPRhg1 Can Improve rhg1-a Mediated Soybean Resistance to Soybean Cyst Nematode | Phytopathology® The rhg1-a and rhg1-b haplotypes of the soybean Rhg1 locus are economically effective tools for the control of soybean cyst nematode (SCN; Heterodera glycines), but ongoing SCN evolution requires impr...

Fun morning going through stocks and cultures as I prepare for the big move. Here is a picture of some #nematode cuties.

Indian Grass Is NOT Browner Than Grass Abroad – AND Vice-versa (Graduate school advice) Before I begin, I want to clarify that everything I’m about to share is drawn from my own experiences and from many honest conversations I’ve had with fellow Indian students — both in person and here ...

I wrote down my learning as an international (Indian) graduate student in the USA, as a piece of advice. This could be useful to students and other academics alike? Let me know what you think! I hope this is helpful. #gradschool #newPI #international #studyabroad

The impact of nematode inoculation on classical plant performance indicators. A, The effect of nematode inoculation on dry shoot biomass, dry root biomass, and root surface area at 26 days postinoculation (DPI) for each potato cyst nematode (PCN) inoculation density. The asterisks indicate significant differences (Wilcoxon rank-sum test) of the inoculated plants compared with the uninoculated control (0 eggs per gram of soil) (ns = P > 0.05, * = P < 0.05, ** = P < 0.01, and *** = P < 0.001). B, Cleaned and dried root systems of five representative plants for each inoculation density.

Robbert van Himbeeck et al. investigated whether chlorophyll fluorescence could be suitable as a rapid, nondestructive method for early potato cyst nematode detection. 🥔 Learn more: doi.org/10.1094/PHYT... @jaapjanwillig.bsky.social

Hope to see you there!

In the American grocery stores, they label it as "Ginger root" so glad that you asked this question. 🫡

It's not pandemic anymore and I finally had my PhD graduation party with my lab. Even if it took 5 years post graduation to do this, it was all worth it to see people, have a real conversation and share food. @umnplantpath.bsky.social @son-nemaweb.bsky.social

Imagine a pathogen that reproduces 5-6 times in a growing season. Resistance curbs it's growth from 5 to 3 units per turn. It's not statistically signif by any fancy stats. Considering exponential growth of the pathogen, it may be significant. So, what is your research question, Indeed?

Wild-type (WT) strains of Caenorhabditis elegans have a smooth body wall and they crawl in a sinusoidal-like pattern, whereas Rolling (Rol) mutants twist their body like a corkscrew and usually remain in the same region, moving in a nearly circular pattern.

If it helps with your anxiety at all, four fifths of all animals are nematodes.

🌏 Happy #WorldSoilDay! 💡 #Nematodes help break down organic matter & recycle nutrients, making them more accessible to plants, acting as natural pest controllers & keeping pathogens in check. By maintaining a balanced soil ecosystem, they help promote thriving plants! 🌿 www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/15...

Red imported fire ants are named for their ability to inflict painful bites/stings. Fire ant mounds appear as disturbed soil. Tunnels below the mounds can extend up to 30 meters & may hold up to 500,000 ants. Mounds can reach 24 inches in height such as this one centered on a dead soybean plant 🧪

Thank you! I am following you both here :)

Who do I know in #Nematology who is skilled at classical stuff such as nematode culture and assays while also skilled at molecular biology techniques like RT qPCR, Western blots and omics analyses? Please connect with me and send me a message. Thank you!

That's not even Kremlin. SMH 🙄
