OverviewAI-generated summary

J. C. Rupe's research centers on understanding and improving disease resistance in soybean (Glycine max L.). This work includes investigating the genetic factors that contribute to enhanced resistance against Cercospora leaf blight, utilizing Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) analysis in recent work. Rupe also studies the ecology and diversity of fungal species associated with soybean seedling diseases, particularly in the Midwestern United States. This research includes characterizing fungicide resistance in specific fungal isolates, such as QoI-Fungicide resistance in *Cercospora* isolates linked to Cercospora leaf blight in the Southern United States.

Further research by Rupe examines the interaction between plant nutrition, specifically potassium, and its role in plant disease control. Additional studies have focused on breeding strategies for disease resistance in soybean from a global perspective, and evaluating resistance to Cercospora leaf blight using improved disease-evaluation scales. The researcher also investigates soybean flood tolerance and the response to selection under different breeding methods. Rupe leads a research group and has a scholarly record including 92 publications and an h-index of 30, with over 2,835 citations. Collaborations include work with Pengyin Chen, Leandro Mozzoni, Robert C. Holland, and Terry Spurlock.
