The final published work from my PhD. Took the team a lot of effort to get over the line, but we did it! #microbiome #plantpathogens #phyllosphere

Fresh plant microbiome research out! 🌱🦠 @hockettlab.bsky.social shows how tomato phyllosphere microbiomes rapidly differentiate under pathogen pressure, developing disease-suppressive traits. Check it out 👉 link.springer.com/article/10.1... #Microbiome #PlantHealth #OneHealth

Thrilled to see this work published! We analyzed foliar disease suppressive microbial communities from tomato to identify taxa and functions associated with suppression. Congratulations to lead author @hanareiaehau.bsky.social, and co-authors Javad Sadeghi and Terrence Bell! tinyurl.com/4pnxxuus

Tailocin Tail Fiber Diversity Correlates with rfbD Variation in the Pseudomonas syringae Species Complex #ISMEComms from @stl.bsky.social @hockettlab.bsky.social @surtlab.bsky.social academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...

I built a database with mined gateway plasmids from addgene. Maybe it can be helpful. bsky.app/profile/manu...

Does anyone know of a gateway compatible tn7 destination vector that has kanamycin resistance in the tn7 instead of gentR?

Delighted to be able to share our new review on R-pyocins produced by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It covers genetics, regulation, killing mechanisms and therapeutic potential amongst other things. #MicroSky www.nature.com/articles/s44...

It was great hosting @michhulin.bsky.social to hear about her lab's work on prophages in Pseudomonas syringae!

I initiated a plant pathology/plant microbe starter pack, feel free to self-nominate 🥀 go.bsky.app/LbYaW8k

🎉 We are kicking off our semester with a seminar from Dr. Alex Vompe! Alex talked about coral microbiome 🪸 work from his PhD and new mushroom-microbe 🍄 interaction projects with @hockettlab.bsky.social and Carolee Bull.

📢 This fascinating PNAS article highlights OHMC’s @hockettlab.bsky.social's research on adapting plant microbiomes to enhance crop resilience 🌾🐛🦠 "Breeding will still have its place in the toolbox, [but] the microbiome approach will likely be far quicker." www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Thrilled to have my group's work on disease suppressive microbial communities highlighted in the recent PNAS Front Matter! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...
