RIP John. What a gent.
Former students and colleagues of Dr. John McDowell published a @MPMIjournal article detailing John's amazing scientific achievements in the field of molecular plant-microbe interactions. John was a dedicated mentor, teacher, and friend to many within and beyond Virginia Tech.
It was fun putting this vignette together with Malcolm Bennett et al......@ThePlantCell What do we learn from Arabidopsis for Crop Innovation? academic.oup.com/plcell/article… @IISERPune @DBTIndia @IndiaDST Thanks Shuang, it was great working with you on this
