OverviewAI-generated summary
Burton H. Bluhm's research focuses on plant pathology and mycology, with a particular emphasis on fungal pathogens affecting agricultural crops and their associated molecular mechanisms. His work has investigated the genetic diversity and population dynamics of fungi like *Aspergillus flavus*, examining factors that influence aflatoxin biosynthesis and exploring its potential for biological control. Bluhm has also studied the genetic basis of disease resistance in crops, such as the role of BIK1-like receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases in maize resistance to disease.
His research extends to identifying and characterizing emerging plant pathogens, including new species causing diseases in economically important crops like soybean and blackberry. Bluhm has explored the genetic introgression and recombination within fungal populations, which has implications for understanding pathogen evolution and developing effective management strategies. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 24, with over 4,353 citations across 55 publications, designating him as a highly cited researcher.
