Hello everybody! Can’t believe it is November! I hope you all have had a productive fall and are ready for winter. This is a last call for nominations for this years election for RosExec. As it stands, we have a total of seven people (five from the US, and two of our international liaisons). I have received five nominations for US people and two for international Liaisons. I am in the process of contacting them and making sure they are still interested in running. Are there any other arms we can twist to get a larger pool? If so, could you let me know and I will contact them. I will have voting open mid november, in time for this years RosEXEC meeting in January. JD JD Swanson, Ph.D. Asst.

RGC7 pre- and post-tour options interest

by Humann, Jodi Lynn

Hello everyone, We currently have several options for pre- and post-conference tours for RGC7. Descriptions for the tours can be found at http://www.rosaceae.org/conferences/rgc7/tours. We are trying to determine if there is enough interest for further planning for these pre- and post-tours in order to provide those interested with the cost for the tours. We have heard from a few people, but would like to know from more attendees which pre- and post-tours are of the most interest. By letting us know which tours you are interested in now, you will not be obligated to register for the tour. We are only gauging interest to see if there will be enough people to make these tours cost-effective. Please email which tour options you might be interested in to rgc7(a)rosacae.org<mailto:rgc7@rosacae.org> by October 31st. Thank you, Jodi Jodi Humann, Ph.D. Main Lab Bioinformatics Project Coordinator Department of Horticulture Washington State University PO Box 646414 Pullman, WA 99164-6414 509-335-3206 jhumann(a)wsu.edu

Elections for 2014 RosExec

by John-David Swanson

Hello everybody! I hope you all had a wonderful and productive summer and are all ready for the fall to start! It is now time to start thinking about RosExec elections for the upcoming year. Five US people will be rotating off at the end of this year (Kate Evans, Jay Norelli, Mercey Olmstead, Janet Slovin, and Vance Whitaker). Now, looking at the numbers, we will have the following make up next year with those left: Inst: Univ 6, Gvt 4, Ind 2 Region: South 2, West 6, East 4 So we really need people from industry and/or the South to help bolster representation. We will be looking for nominations over the next few weeks. If you know of someone who may be interested in serving on RosExec, please have them contact me and I can help them, or send me their information and I can contact them. We will need a short Bio from them. I have a timeline in place as follows: Nominations to me By Oct 15, 2013 Voting will be carried out Between Nov 1-15, 2013 Secretary nominations and Election Early December Announcement of Results at PAG Once again, hope you are looking forward to your new semesters and look forward to catching up with you soon!

FW: PhD Studentship

by Felicidad Fernandez (EMR)

PhD opportunity. Host jump genetics- the mechanisms of pathogen adaptation in Pseudomonas Supervisors- Dr Robert W. Jackson (Reading), Dr Richard Harrison and Dr Laura Lewis (East Malling Research) The mechanism by which pathogens cross species barriers to infect a new host is poorly understood, making the movements of host-jumping pathogens extremely unpredictable. The project offered here will focus on Pseudomonas syringae pathovars, which have made several known host-jumps across economically important crops, including wheat, beans, plum and cherry. The aims of this project are as follows: 1. To sequence the genomes of several Pseudomonas syringae pathovars to assess within and between pathovar diversification in relation to host jump events. 2. To address the hypothesis of whether effectors dictate host specificity and to assess their centrality to host jumping. 3. To initiate a host jump within the laboratory setting and in so doing identify potential causes of host jumping at the molecular level. 4. To link pathogen effectors to resistance relationships in planta to assess whether host-jumping to a new host is modulated by host resistance in the existing host. The project will use next generation sequencing to sequence the genomes of several pathovars of the plant pathogenic species, and will employ comparative genomics to assess the relationship between effector genes, which are required for virulence, and host jumping events. Molecular techniques will be used to recreate host jumps within the laboratory, which will inform us of the driving forces that bring about host jumps, enabling better predictions of which strains are likely to host jump, and which hosts are they likely to jump to. The student will receive training in genomics and genetics, bioinformatics, plant-microbe interactions, and evolution. The supervisory team are starting a new strategic partnership between Reading and East Malling drawing upon resources in both institutions. The team will collaborate with key scientists in each institute; for example, Dr Louise Johnson will provide valuable advice for the evolutionary experiments. Eligibility: Applicants should hold a minimum of a UK Honours Degree at 2:1 level or equivalent in a relevant subject. Please note that due to restrictions on the funding this studentship is for UK/EU applicants only. How to apply: To apply for this studentship please submit an application for a PhD in Molecular Plant Pathology to the University - see http://www.reading.ac.uk/graduateschool/prospectivestudents/gs-how-to-apply… Application Deadline: Friday 15th March 2013 Further Enquiries: Please contact Dr Robert Jackson (r.w.jackson(a)reading.ac.uk) and Dr Richard Harrison (Richard.Harrison(a)emr.ac.uk) Funding Notes: Funding Details: Studentship will cover Home/EU Fees and pay the Research Council minimum stipend (£13,590 for 2011/12) for up to 3 years. The studentship will begin in October 2013. --East Malling Research registered office: New Road, East Malling, Kent ME19 6BJ. Tel. 01732-843833. Registered in England No. 5019373.
