Proud of Sameerika for leading our latest study on the etiological complexity of bacterial blotch in white button mushrooms! 🍄
We characterized pathogen diversity and explored biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). 🧬

.@UFPlantPath Researchers used DNA analyses to show blotch isn’t one pathogen—it’s a multi-species bacterial complex, helping explain inconsistent control results.

Root-knot nematode egg masses host distinct bacterial communities, according to research by Daniele de Brum et al. Significant differences were found in the communities colonizing symptomatic and asymptomatic plants in field conditions. @samjmartins doi.org/10.1094/PBIOME…

Excited to provide this unique opportunity for UF students to practice global career skills with peers in Spain! @UFPlantPath

Congratulations to Samuel Martins and Ana Sevilla Pavón for successfully implementing their new virtual exchange project, "From Ancient Civilizations to Modern Ideals: A Global Student Dialogue."

@UFCALS
Promotional flyer for a virtual exchange titled From Ancient Civilizations to Modern Ideals: A Global Student Dialogue. The flyer introduces two instructors: Samuel Martins, Department of Plant Pathology at the UF College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, and Ana Sevilla Pavón, Department of English and German Philology at the University of Valencia in Spain. The summary explains that University of Florida students in the “Plants, Plagues, and People” biohistory course collaborated with students from the University of Valencia, who were studying culture and history. UF students researched ancient civilizations, while UV students focused on historical figures. The virtual format encouraged cross-cultural discussions on how history and biography shape societies. The project ended with presentations and reflections on the concept of an ideal society. The partner institution is the University of Valencia, Spain, with the Spanish flag shown.
