Professor Dean Malvick spoke with @mprnews.org about red crown rot, a soybean disease with no cure, being found in Minnesota and potential consequences: www.mprnews.org/story/2025/1...
Soybean disease with no cure was detected in Minnesota for the first time
Red crown rot, a fungal disease that hides in soil, rots soybean roots away and destroys part of the bean's leaf tissue, has no cure. It’s been found in Minnesota for the first time.

🪱 Last week EPPO took part in the Annual Workshop of the European Reference Laboratory for Plant Parasitic Nematodes in Zagreb.

The workshop covered EURL activities, methods validation, emerging and regulated nematodes, and general updates in nematology.

Exciting postdoc opportunity to work on the beech leaf nematode with Dr. Kantor at Penn State!

The role will include designing, conducting, and analyzing a comparative greenhouse host-range test of beech leaf nematode, Litylenchus crenatae spp. mccanii (Lcm), on native tree species.

The soybean cyst nematode genomics database has been updated as of last night. SCNBase.org now has all 9 early release H. glycines genomes and annotations. All files are downloadable and accessible through BLAST, feature search, and Jbrowse. The pan-genome paper is coming soon! #science #genomics
