Josh Widhalm has been named a 2023 University Faculty Scholar! This program is designed to recognize outstanding faculty members across the university who are on an accelerated path for academic distinction. This is a very well-deserved honor and recognition for Josh’s excellent scholarship!
Josh Widhalm and Natalia Dudareva published an article in Molecular Plant with collaborators in the School of Chemical Engineering titled: “Two-way communication: Volatile emission and uptake occur through the same barriers.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1674205222004063
Josh Widhlam and former postdoc, Dr. Manoj Ghaste (now at Nelson Labs in Salt Lake City), published a paper in Fields Crops Research with Mitch Tuinstra and collaborators titled “Dhurrin stability and hydrogen cyanide release in dried sorghum samples.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378429022003355
The special issue on “Horticultural plant specialized metabolism,” guest edited by Josh Widhalm and Kranthi Varala, was published in Horticulture Research this week. https://academic.oup.com/hr/pages/horticultural-plant-specialized-secondary-metabolism#.Y2_F0MsC_80.twitter
Thiti Suttiyut, Scott Benzinger, Rachel McCoy, and Josh Widhalm published a chapter in Methods in Enzymology titled “Strategies to study the metabolic origins of specialized plant metabolites: The specialized 1, 4-naphthoquinones.”
4 The HLA Welcome Back Bash was a success despite the rain ending it earlier than planned. Undergraduate students enjoyed the taco bar, cornhole, the photo booth, and bingo (with prizes!). Thank you to Robin Tribbet, Gloribel Rosales-Burdin, Ashley Breed, Pam Fisher, Kyle Daniel, Kirby Kalbaugh, Mike Dana, Kathryn Orvis, Steve Hallett, Josh Widhalm, Cale…Read more about HLA’s Welcome Back Bash[Read More]
Over the summer, the Widhalm laboratory members were busy presenting their research across the country. Graduate student Thiti Suttiyut presented his work on shikonin metabolism and helped organize the phytochemical section at Botany 2022 (Botanical Society of America) in Anchorage, Alaska from July 24th – 27th. Graduate student George Meyer presented his work on juglone…Read more about Widhalm Laboratory Members Present at Summer Research Conferences[Read More]
Thiti Suttiyut, Manoj Ghaste, and Joshua Widhalm along with others from the Purdue Center for Plant Biology published a paper in Horticulture Research entitled “Integrative analysis of the shikonin metabolic network identifies new gene connections and reveals evolutionary insight into shikonin biosynthesis. The paper is available online: https://doi.org/10.1093/hr/uhab087.
