It’s been wonderful to catch up with mentors and many old and new friends. Looking forward to presenting our work this Thursday: Poster PS3.22.429 🗓 20 August ⏰ 10:00 AM #ISME2019 Aug 2026 09:25 +0000at://did:plc:vsu3e523fljokilf5oerxpem/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtgfy7owoc2shttps://bsky.app/profile/chaoxiong.bsky.social/post/3mngyppryyc2j🌱 Interested in crop microbiomes, plant pathogens, and climate-resilient agriculture? We are recruiting a PhD student at University of Western Australia to investigate how climate extremes influence crop microbiomes, pathogen invasion, and plant health. https://researchdegrees.uwa.edu.au/scholarships/1x9y8004 Jun 2026 06:29 +0000at://did:plc:vsu3e523fljokilf5oerxpem/app.bsky.feed.post/3mngyppryyc2jhttps://bsky.app/profile/chaoxiong.bsky.social/post/3mngyppryyc2j🌱 Interested in crop microbiomes, plant pathogens, and climate-resilient agriculture?

Droughts. Floods. As climate extremes become more frequent, they may be silently increasing the risk of plant disease outbreaks by reshaping plant pathogens, beneficial microbiomes and host immunity.
