OverviewAI-generated summary
James C. Correll, Distinguished Professor of Plant Pathology at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, has a research program focused on plant pathogens and disease resistance. His work has investigated genetic variation within fungal species, including *Fusarium*, *Colletotrichum acutatum*, and *Magnaporthe oryzae*. Correll has studied the genetic basis of virulence and avirulence in plant pathogens, with a specific focus on understanding how genetic changes in these organisms affect their ability to cause disease.
His research also extends to identifying and mapping genes that confer resistance to plant diseases. Notably, Correll has been involved in mapping quantitative trait loci responsible for resistance to sheath blight in rice. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 35, with 147 total publications and 4,495 citations, reflecting a significant body of work in the field. He collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Gehendra Bhattarai, Chunda Feng, Kelley J. Clark, and Hannah Victoria Zima.
