Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Kelley J. Clark's research focuses on plant pathology, particularly the study of downy mildews affecting crops such as spinach. Clark has investigated methods for detecting downy mildews, including the development of multiplex quantitative PCR assays utilizing spore trapping. Their work has also examined the transmission routes of these pathogens, specifically through seeds and infested leaf debris. Further research has involved evaluating different spinach cultivars for their resistance to downy mildew, with field trials conducted in Arizona and California. In addition to plant pathology, Clark's work has touched upon host genetic traits influencing the composition of plant microbiomes, specifically in citrus species. Clark has published 19 papers with 544 citations and an h-index of 7. Key collaborators include James C. Correll, Hannah Victoria Zima, and Chunda Feng from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
