David N. Appel Research in the Forest Pathology Laboratory focuses on factors that influence the incidence and severity of plant disease epidemics, such as oak wilt and Pierce's disease of grapes. Similar studies are being conducted on potentially dangerous invasive species, such as exotic and native dodder species. Charles M. Kenerley Using Trichoderma virens as a model, we are examining the effect of transgenes on disease suppression and fungal competition. Developing quantitative relationships between single or combinations of transgenic biocontrol agents and their hosts will provide new approaches for managing seedling diseases. James L. Starr My research involves the study of nematode population dynamics and the relationships between initial nematode population densities and crop yield responses.
