Excited to share our review article just published in @PlantBiotechJ. We present the state-of-the-art research on soybean rust (P. pachyrhizi) and discuss how new technologies and tools could be used to improve genetic resistance to this pathogen!

We are hiring a talented postdoctoral researcher in our group. If you are passionate about plant disease resistance, this might be a great opportunity for you. Here is the link to apply:

Asian soybean rust (ASR) threatens soybean production, especially in South America. The pigeonpea gene CcRpp1 confers strong ASR resistance. Mark A. Chamberlin et al. dissected its mechanisms via cytological, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analyses: doi.org/10.1094/PHYTO-02-25-…
ALT Fig. 3. Haustorial maturation is completely suppressed in A to F, CcRpp1.6.11.1-positive versus G to L, the null soybean leaves.

📢 Check out this @NewPhyt commentary on our recent work – worth a read!
📢New article alert! We wrote a commentary on the article by Bredow et al "Elevated CO₂: a double-edged sword for plant defence against pathogens" doi.org/10.1111/nph.70048
Bredow et al: doi.org/10.1111/nph.20364

ALT Young soybean plants growing in elevated CO2 develop more sudden death syndrome symptoms and are more susceptible to Fusarium virguliforme.

Thrilled to share that this week I joined @corteva as a Research Scientist in the Biotechnology Department - Trait Discovery - Disease Resistance team. I’m excited to contribute to projects that will impact the agricultural community and deliver solutions to farmers! – at Johnston, IA
Grateful for everything! I’ll miss the Whitham lab ♥️ – at Urbandale, IA
An exciting evening for the Whitham Lab at the Fall 2023 ISU Graduate College graduation ceremony. Congratulations to Dr. Katerina Holan @KaterinaHolan and Dr. Aline Sartor Chicowski @AChicowski!
Super excited to share our latest paper in MPMI on P. pachyrhizi effector-effector interactions. Check it out here: apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/1…
@swhitham49 @BredowMelissa – at Ames, IA
Our work on the characterization of an effector protease from soybean rust is now in BioRxiv. A big shoutout to all our collaborators who were pivotal in the development of this cool story.

The closing celebration last night was so much fun (you can probably tell by these pictures) 😂😍💃🏼! @swhitham49 @KhwanbuaE @BredowMelissa @_acmargets #2023ISMPMI – at Rhode Island, USA
My last Congress as a student (and travel awardee) was simply amazing. Just grateful for all the new connections and great discussions! Leaving Providence excited and looking forward to what the future holds. #2023ISMPMI – at Providence, RI
A lovely evening! – at Providence, RI
