Project Type: Specific C/A

Start Date: Aug 28, 2002
End Date: Aug 25, 2005

Objective:
To use the sequence information and genetic/genomics materials generated in earlier studies to further characterize molecular mechanisms of fungal pathogenicity, inoculum production, and secondary metabolism.

Approach:
Our appraoch is two fold: to combine basic, laboratory research with field research aimed at the ultimate control of inoculum production. Our research combines studies of the basic biology of G. zeae with behavior of the fungus in the field. These two approaches will result in novel approaches to interruption of the disease cycle.
