Immune activation by a phloem-colonizing plant pathogen drives citrus Huanglongbing disease development: Cell Host & Microbe cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f… Glad to share our recent progress on citrus HLB. Kudos to the co-first authors Xianen, Wenxiu, Wenting, and Yu and other colleagues in my lab. It is truly a team work by collaboration with Allison K. Hanse at UCR, Ning Zhang at JMU, and Madhurababu Kunta at TAMUK.

NEW PAPER! What explains associations with defensive symbionts? In @Ecology_Letters we show symbiont occurrences align with sharing the same parasitoids, but not plants, highlighting enemies as key selective agents shaping symbioses in nature🦠

Vince and I are currently recruiting grad students for a variety of projects. Please pass on this flier to anyone you think would be interested!

Cool paper on convergent losses of a symbiont in gall forming insects! Nice work by @HansenLab1 Patrick Degnan et al. 🦠🌺
The galls are so nutritious that psyllids that transitioned to galling have lost their nutritional symbionts ! 🤯academic.oup.com/mbe/article…

Excited to learn our non-transgenic canker-resistant citrus generated by crispr genome editing exempted by EPA, by APHIS, for use by growers! They are the 1st to receive EPA exemption for gene-edited plants! ThanksNIFA funding!Thanks@usda_nifa @EPA@USDA_APHIS

Beautiful (both visually and scientifically) research by @thyreodon testing the role of chance in shaping animal-microbe symbioses.
Study of #SquashBug colonization by #bacterial #symbionts shows that heterogeneity & strain diversity in symbiotic microbial communities, within- & between-host, can be explained by stochastic colonization @thyreodon @NicoleGerardo @nicvega1 #PLOSBiology plos.io/4dceo21

New paper alert! Symbionts have allowed insects to colonise novel feeding niches, but how has this influenced diversification? In @NatureEcoEvo we show that symbionts are associated with extreme highs and lows of insect diversification.

Y’all knew that Wolbachia’s prevalence across insects could not be explained by reproductive manipulations alone. Check out this new paper led by my former Postdoc @Amelia_Lindsey "Wolbachia is a nutritional symbiont" biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Dr Allison Hansen, Associate Professor in Entomology flew all the way from California & immediately caught our attention with the #aphid embryo, more #bugs #psyllid
I wonder if Dr Allison has considered moving to #Australia , #Let collaborate
