Mark L Gleason
Position
- Professor Emeritus
Fruit and vegetable research
My lab specializes in research on three major fruit and vegetable crop diseases: bacterial wilt of cucurbits, sooty blotch and flyspeck of apple, and anthracnose fruit rot of strawberry. The scope of our research ranges from pathogen detection to sustainable disease management tactics, disease epidemiology, pathogen genetics, evolutionary biology, and genomics.
Teaching
I teach a broad range of courses from Integrated Pest Management of turfgrasses to ecologically based pest management, tropical agriculture, disease management, research ethics, and professional speaking skills.
