Years ago I decided to only publish and serve on @plantdisease journals. I have an automated response I use for requests from other journals. Recently, several colleagues have asked me for it, so decided to share here in case it is helpful 😁 #AcademicChatter

Our CTG team has a great time last week at #PAG31 in San Diego! Looking forward to next year!
Had a productive and fun last week at #PAG31 in San Diego. Got an opportunity to present a poster-genome sequencing of Phytophthora. Proud to be part of @WhitehillLab. Thank you @WhitehillJustin, Angela Chiang, Ross Whetten, and Jack Wang for the support and great company.

Thanks to Justin Whitehill and the entire @WhitehillLab for spending time at the Upper Mountain Research Station in Laurel Springs #NorthCarolina. Great learnings on the challenges facing the Xmas tree industry… 🎄

Excited to have our article published alongside one of my favorite microscopy images of Sitka spruce stone cells! Thank you to @NewPhyt for featuring our work!
On the cover: Sitka spruce stone cell cluster (green) contrasted against polyphenolic cells (magenta) and primary walls (blue). 📖 Read the article by Whitehill et al. https://t.co/t8xEcfSY3c Image courtesy of Justin G. A. Whitehill

Our newest #invasive pest, elm zigzag sawfly, is on the move. This piece might overplay its impact, but Jessica Cancelliere @NYSDEC is right- don't overreact! We have pesticide trials underway, so hopeful for control options soon. Report it if you see it! https://t.co/gIZJceDzoE

The species from China and Japan is the latest threat to elm trees in New York.

Congrats Jack and @FBG_NCSU ! A great accomplishment for all Forest tree genomics research!
BREAKING NEWS 🧬🌲 N.C. PSI-affiliated researchers @CRISPRchef and Jack Wang @FBG_NCSU used a #CRISPR gene-editing system to breed poplar trees that hold promise to make #fiber production cheaper and more efficient. @ScienceMagazine #forestweek

Deer browsing can cost thousands of dollars in lost product and increased expense to Real Christmas Tree Growers - 🦌 🌲 Attending @NCchristmasTree Winter Meeting - “How the smell of Christmas may protect #FraserFir against DEER browse.” - @WhitehillJustin - @WhitehillLab

Christmas tree season may be over, but our researchers study the tree's genetics all year. 🎄 Thanks to a nearly $385,000 grant, @WhitehillLab, in partnership with @NCAgriculture, will construct a 3,200-square-foot seed processing facility in Ashe County. https://t.co/g5Z7UQsMUE

.@NCState researchers are one step closer to harvesting the first crop of genetically-improved Fraser firs for growers to plant in their fields. Learn about the @WhitehillLab's plans to construct a 3,200-square-foot seed processing facility in Ashe County: https://t.co/z7XiXCv3rh

Our work also supports other conifers including Leyland Cypress, Virginia pine, and other species grown by the Eastern North Carolina Christmas Tree Growers Association as Christmas trees and plant materials used in greenery production like wreaths and garlands! #Fraserfir

Great work as well to CTG team members that weren't present including @dp_adarsha , @Saikarthik & @CalebCothron who are all working to improve the Fraser fir for @NCchristmasTree growers.

We are lucky to have such a talented team to move these projects forward. I can't fail to mention Angela Chiang for keeping all of us in line and the lab running smoothly. She didn't want to talk this time so she was in the background.

Both of their research projects support the somatic embryogenesis (SE) work that Yannick Favre is doing to develop clonally propagated conifers! SE is the only way to rapidly propagate new genetics quickly in conifers.

Really glad to see WRAL feature recent Christmas Tree Genetics (CTG) PhD grad Will Kohlway discuss his dissertation research. MS student Will Baldwin got to talk about his exciting research exploring the aroma profiles of various fir (Abies) species.

Another nice feature from @WRAL WRAL and most likely our last for the season. Hey, Whitehall is close! @NCchristmasTree @NCExtension @NCStateCNR @NCSUExtForestry
