Daniel Cerritos Garcia: Understanding why QoI fungicides are failing to control Alternaria leaf blight and head rot of broccoli in the Eastern US

Location: Young 132
Host: Sydney Everhart
Webex Link: s.uconn.edu/psla_seminars
Alternaria leaf blight and head rot is a devastating disease of broccoli that can appear in the seedling stage and continue up to harvest, where even minimal black spots present in heads make them unmarketable. For management, growers rely on fungicide applications using QoIs such as azoxystrobin, but recent reports suggest that resistance may be present in Georgia and Virginia.

Sanjay Palakurthy: Unveiling the role of MKP1 gene in Plant Secondary Growth

Location: Young 132
Host: Sydney Everhart
Webex Link: s.uconn.edu/psla_seminars
Secondary growth, the process by which plants increase their stem girth, is a fundamental aspect of plant development with profound ecological and economic implications. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying secondary growth is crucial not only important to plant biology but also holds significant practical implications for industries ranging from forestry to agriculture and biotechnology. Through a variety of molecular biology techniques, I am trying to better understand the molecular and genetic interactions mediated by MKP1 gene in relation to the plant secondary growth, Utilizing Arabidopsis thaliana as a model organism.
