Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kelley J. Clark's research focuses on plant pathogens and host-pathogen interactions. Clark has investigated the genome assembly of *Peronospora effusa*, a pathogen causing downy mildew in spinach, contributing to genomic and phylogenetic studies of the Peronosporaceae family. This work includes characterizing the genetic traits underlying host composition and the development of molecular assays for pathogen detection, such as a multiplex quantitative PCR assay for downy mildews affecting spinach and lettuce. Clark has also examined the transmission mechanisms of spinach downy mildew and evaluated cultivar resistance to the disease. Further research has explored host genetic traits influencing the citrus microbiome. Clark has a publication record of 19 papers, with 546 citations, and an h-index of 7. Key collaborators include James C. Correll, Hannah Victoria Zima, and Chunda Feng, all from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
