The 2025 Bacterial Leaf Streak Initiative Meeting has already led to so much learning and synergy, and we're only halfway through! Thank you to our visiting colleagues from Ohio State, @ndsuplantpathology.bsky.social, @sdstate.bsky.social, Colorado State, USDA, Manitoba, and INIA Uruguay 🌾
Around 40 researchers stand in the lobby of UMN Cargill Hall in front of a large window and large agave plant.

In US, MN ranks #1 in oats; #3 in spring wheat; #9 in barley. $380M in #wheat exports alone. Scientists are needed to support farmers producing these crops! What's the future of #agriculture if we dismantle #AgriculturalScience research? #PlantScience #USDA-ARS #AttackOnScience #PlantPathology

Do you know Daisy Roulland-Dussoix? She is one of the discoverers of restriction enzymes, who’s findings paved the way for the development of recombinant DNA and cloning technologies. Accordingly, the finding was rewarded with a #NobelPrize. But the prize didn’t go to her. 🧵👇

I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service. “Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

It's not always as simple as "one TALE, one S-gene" - very cool work from @kcox-bioguy.bsky.social and the team showing a single TALE targets 3 distinct cotton genes (2 SWEETs and a pectin lyase) to maximize virulence.
