OverviewAI-generated summary
James C. Correll's research focuses on understanding and improving disease resistance in agricultural crops, particularly spinach and rice. His work involves employing advanced genomic techniques to identify genetic factors that contribute to resistance against various plant pathogens. This includes conducting genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and genomic prediction to pinpoint quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with resistance to diseases like white rust and downy mildew in spinach.
Correll also investigates the genetic basis of rice blast resistance, with a specific interest in developing integrated strategies for durable resistance in Sub-Saharan Africa. His research extends to comparative genome analyses of plant-pathogenic fungi, such as *Rhizoctonia solani*, to understand gene enrichment related to disease mechanisms. He has published extensively on these topics and maintains collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His scholarly contributions are recognized by a high h-index of 35 and over 4,400 citations, marking him as a highly cited researcher.
