I am honored to be the first student from NDSU to receive this highly competitive FFAR fellowship. I thank my ever-supportive advisors, Dr. Thomas Baldwin @BarleyPathology and Dr. Gary Secor, as well as Dr. Febina Mathew @febina_m and Dr. Jack Rasmussen. #ffarfellows
Congratulations to @NDSU plant pathology doctoral student Abbeah Navasca (@LadyFusaria), for being selected as a participant in the 2023-2026 @FoundationFAR Fellow program!
Navasca is the first NDSU student to receive this prestigious award.

The remarkable Starships - large mobile elements capable of moving large genomic regions in fungal populations. Changes everything we thought we knew about horizontal gene transfer among fungi and the mobility of large proportion of pan genomes @Hulk_Vogan #ECFG17

Thank you for this recognition @planthealthprog @plantdisease 🥳
🎉 Congrats to @LadyFusaria, Sandesh Dangi, @ArcibalBaldwin, Suzette Arcibal Baldwin, Zhao Jin & @BarleyPathology ! Their article on a TaqMan multiplex RT-PCR assay for Fusarium graminearum was the most-read Plant Health Progress paper of 2024! 🔬🌾 apsjournals.apsnet.org/doi/1…

From lesions to lessons:
2025 marks the 20th anniversary of filamentous plant pathogen genomics. In our new review, we present lessons we learned over the past 2 decades and discuss the future of plant pathogen genomics. Take a first look!

A special congrats to @NDSUPlantPath graduate student, Abbeah Mae Navasca along with Dr. Thomas Baldwin, for being awarded $20,000 for the project, "Cross-infectivity, Genomic Analysis, and Transcriptomic Profiling of Fusarium graminearum in Artificial Barley-Broadleaf Crop Rotation."
"The direct outcomes of this project will improve crop rotation strategies through a deeper understanding of these biological mechanisms. We expect that farmers will consider changing their crop rotation sequence relative to the results of our study," said Mae Navasca.
This grant was awarded as part of NCR-SARE's 2024 Graduate Student Grant Program, a competitive grant program to fund graduate student projects that address sustainable agriculture issues. More details >> northcentral.sare.org/news/n…

🌱 Thanks to ancient genes, plant breeders are developing stronger #barley varieties to withstand even tougher conditions.
As climate change intensifies, barley is here to help farmers and communities adapt.
