OverviewAI-generated summary

Burton H. Bluhm's research focuses on plant pathology and the study of plant-associated microbes, with a particular emphasis on pathogens affecting economically important crops like soybean and maize. His work investigates the genetic mechanisms and population dynamics of fungal pathogens, including their resistance to fungicides and their potential for biological control.

Recent publications from Bluhm's laboratory detail the identification of new species of plant pathogens, such as *Xylaria necrophora* responsible for soybean taproot decline, and *Fusarium oxysporum* f. sp. *mori* causing Fusarium wilt in blackberry. His research also explores the impact of environmental factors and specific treatments, like infrared wavelengths and microwave power levels, on fungal growth and the biosynthesis of mycotoxins such as aflatoxin B1 by *Aspergillus flavus*.

Bluhm collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Travis Faske and James C. Correll, on studies investigating disease resistance in plants and the genetic introgression and recombination in fungal populations. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 24 and over 4,000 citations across 57 publications, indicating a significant impact in his field.
