Professor of plant pathology at the Federal University of Viçosa, Brazil. Author of the R4PDE book.
I'm excited to share my latest preprint: Stochastic modeling of yield losses due to bacterial leaf streak on corn. Our study examined the impact of bacterial leaf streak (BLS) on corn yield. Thanks to Prof. @edelponte.bsky.social and Dr. Adriano. Preprint: osf.io/8zq4y_v1 Code: lnkd.in/d2DFmpje
In 2023 I painted coffee rust, caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix This is one of my favourite plant disease paintings and was used for the cover @edelponte 's book Plant Disease Epidemiology (R4PDE) https://r4pde.net www.hgpenningtonart....

Cover letters: Don't miss the opportunity - Plant Editors
A recent blog post by Emerson Del Ponte asked if cover letters were a useless tradition or a missed opportunity. Well, you can probably tell from the title where we stand on this question. Indeed, we ...

Plant Editors@planteditors.bsky.social · 2y agoMissed opportunity!! We edit a lot of cover letters to address exactly these points––it's your chance to explain why your paper is cool, so don't blow it by pasting in your abstract (which should also explain why your paper is cool but differently!).

This time of year, the campus feels quiet and lifeless as students have yet to return. Yet, the beauty of Viçosa's campus remains vibrant, and I look forward to seeing these sidewalks bustling with life next week.

More opportunities! Besides a PhD student (other post) we are looking for postdocs! One on Quantitative Disease Resistance mechansims! One on Population Genomics of barley pathogens! The positions can start Feb 2025. For extremely well-fitting candidates can delay the date.
The recent CAPES normative banning fully online courses and asynchronous activities in Brazilian graduate programs is a setback for modern education. It limits opportunities for internationalization, like the remote course (epidemiology) I offer in English, attended by students from abroad 1/3
It was great fun working with Emerson on this paper. Meta-analysis has occupied a major portion of my research time over the past 15+ years. Many plant pathologists are now seeing the benefits of this approach to quantitative research synthesis.
