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.

Fruits and Roots - 1st announcement and call for papers

by Felicidad Fernandez (EMR)

Dear Sir/Madam, In 2013, East Malling Research will be celebrating 100 years of plant science at this world-famous research institute - science that has shaped the way we understand and can manipulate plants to produce high value, nutritious fruit crops across the globe. To mark this Centenary, East Malling Research is working closely with colleagues at the Association of Applied Biologists (AAB) to organise a two-day international conference on 16-17 April 2013. Entitled, 'Fruit and Roots: A Celebration and Forward Look', this event has confirmed key-note speakers from New Zealand and the United States, as well as the UK. It is with pleasure that I attach a pdf of the first announcement and call for papers. We very much hope that you can circulate or inform Members of the Rosaceae group some of whom we hope will be able to participate in this event through presenting a paper/poster or attending the conference as a delegate. To mark this very special year for East Malling Research, we will be organising a number of other events and activities, and I very much hope that we can look forward to welcoming your Members here during 2013. With kind regards [Description: Description: Description: cid:image003.jpg@01CDA55D.E38AFA10] Prof. Peter J.

reminder: RosEXEC call for Nominations_deadline extended

by Dardick, Chris

Dear Rosaceae Community, The deadline for nominations has been extended to Friday, September 21st. We have 5 committee positions to fill and need 2 new international liaisons. We encourage anyone who has not participated before to consider serving on RosEXEC. By serving on RosEXEC you can help our research community remain competitive and it will provide you with excellent opportunities for building research collaborations. Candidates are welcome to nominate themselves. Please send nomination materials to Chris.dardick(a)ars.usd.gov<mailto:Chris.dardick@ars.usd.gov>. See attached for additional details. Call for nominations of new members to US Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics and Breeding Executive Committee (RosEXEC) The mission of the RosEXEC is to: * Serve as a communication and coordination focal point for the US Rosaceae genomics, genetics and breeding community. * Define and promote research priorities based on input from the industry and research community. * Coordinate educational efforts from the research community to the industry and the public. After 3 years of excellent service the following US members (John Clark, Kevin Folta, Ksenija Gasic, Amy Iezzoni, and Jim McFerson) will be rotating off the RosEXEC in January of 2013. In Fall, 2012 five new RosEXEC members will be elected to a 3 year term starting January, 2013. All members of the Rosaceae community are invited to nominate candidates for election. Nomination of candidates who have not previously served on the RosEXEC including younger scientists and new faculty are encouraged. Industry representation is currently lacking and candidates from industry are also strongly encouraged. Members rotating off RosEXEC in January 2012 are not eligible for nomination (see list above). Members who will continue to serve in 2013 include, David Byrne, Thomas Chao, Bob Curtis, Sook Jung, Cameron Peace, Kate Evans, Mercy Olmstead, Janet Slovin, JD Swanson, Vance Whitaker, Jay Norelli, and Chris Dardick- so no need to nominate them as they will already be serving. Other former members of RosEXEC are eligible for nomination (see list below). We are also seeking nomination of 2 new international liaisons to a 2 year term on RosEXEC. International liaison members, Michela Troggio (EU) and Thomas Debener (EU) will be rotating off in January after 2 years of excellent service. Emily Buck (Australia/New Zealand) and Lee Meisel (S. America) will continue to serve in 2013. Prior to nomination, the nominator is required to contact the nominee and confirm their willingness to serve on RosEXEC. Committee members are expected to participate in quarterly telephone conference meetings and provide several hours of work in support of the RosEXEC mission. Nominations should be sent to Chris Dardick (chris.dardick(a)ars.usda.gov<mailto:chris.dardick@ars.usda.gov>), Chair of the RosEXEC membership committee by September 15, 2011. Nominees will then be contacted by the membership committee and asked to provide a CV or bio, and a brief vision statement. The community wide election will be held in October. Former RosEXEC members: Bert Abbott, Abhaya Dandekar, Tom Davis, Amit Dhingra, Gennaro Fazio, Chad Finn, Stan Hokanson, Schuyler Korban, Kim Lewers, Jim Luby, Vladimir Shulaev, Dariusz Swietlik, Gary van Sickle, Angela Baldo, Nahla Bassil, Jim Hancock, Bryon Sosinski, Phil Stewart and Gayle Volk. Former international liaisons: Pere Arús, Sue Gardiner, Jasper Rees, Dan Sargent, Herman Silva, David Chagné and Eric van de Weg.
