OverviewAI-generated summary
Audra Mae Rogers' research investigates the cellular and molecular mechanisms of fungal pathogens, particularly the rice blast fungus *Magnaporthe oryzae*. Her work has focused on understanding how fungal cells manage their cytoskeleton, including actin dynamics and septin remodeling, which are crucial for processes like hyphal branching and the formation of appressoria, specialized infection structures. Rogers also studies the role of specific proteins, such as Tea4, in regulating these developmental events. Her recent publications explore topics including the spatial regulation of hyphal growth, the function of septum-associated microtubule organizing centers in conidia, and genetic approaches to understanding cytoplasmic effector trafficking. Additionally, her research touches on stress responses in filamentous fungi, specifically nucleolar rejuvenation mediated by chaperone systems. Rogers has a h-index of 5 with 103 citations across 13 publications and collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
