Research Areas
 

My research program has two foci: diseases that affect the production and utilization of seeds;  and epidemiology and management of mycotoxigenic fungi in corn. Currently we are working on:

  • Interactions among seedborne viruses and fungi in soybeans
  • Impacts of lesion nematodes and seed treatment on fungi infecting corn seedlings
  • Detection of seedborne bacteria in edible bean seeds
  • Occurrence and effects of Fusarium fungi that infect soybean roots
  • Effects of transgenic insect resistance on infection of corn by mycotoxin-producing fungi
  • Impacts of mycotoxins in ethanol processing and co-product utilization
