Good news for loblolly pine growers in the South! We incorporated host genotype and climate to enhance risk assessment for fusiform rust and were able to explain up to 93% of the deviance for disease incidence!! 😎😁 Another great paper from my former PhD student @simonelimhing .

What's behind these bumps on American beech? A @UGAWarnell undergraduate in @LabVillari and I are working to recreate this weird phenomenon and identify the cause! – at Athens, GA
