OverviewAI-generated summary
Audra Mae Rogers investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying fungal development and pathogenicity, with a specific focus on the rice blast fungus, *Magnaporthe oryzae*. Her research explores how cytoskeletal dynamics, particularly F-actin and septin structures, influence key developmental processes such as hyphal branching and appressorium formation, which are critical for infection. Rogers has published work examining the role of specific proteins, like Tea4, in spatial regulation during hyphal growth and has investigated the function of microtubule organizing centers within conidia to support infectious development. Her studies also extend to cellular processes like autophagy and the management of protein aggregates under stress conditions, exploring mechanisms for nucleolar rejuvenation. Rogers' work utilizes advanced imaging techniques, such as 4D widefield fluorescence microscopy, to capture dynamic cellular events in real-time. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5, with 13 total publications and 92 citations.
