Jana's first-author paper is available online in Frontiers in Plant Science! Previous graduate students, Nate Diplock and Ilea Chau-Ly, and previous undergraduate students, Jamie Calma, Liz Boville, Steven Yee and Taylor Harris, also contribute to the research. Using the seedling flood assay that she developed, Jana identified and characterized resistance to newer strains of Pseudomonas syringae in a wild tomato species, and identified genomic regions and candidate genes associated with resistance. This work will assist in breeding tomato crops with resistance to bacterial infection. Congratulations Jana!
