Study, evolution, and engineering of plant-microbe interactions to address emerging agricultural challenges. Abiotic and biotic stressors pose a significant threat to agriculture and global food security. As a rising demand for food and negative impacts from these stressors co-occur, transformational changes to our agricultural systems will be necessary to efficiently feed the planet. New technologies […]

Improving our understanding of Tobacco rattle virus Abstract Tobacco rattle virus causes internal and external tuber necrosis that render potatoes unmarketable. The virus is vectored to potato in the northwest U.S. by the stubby root nematode, Paratrichodorus allius, and commercial growers control the virus through costly chemical controls that target the nematode. Basic research strategies […]
