OverviewAI-generated summary
Prabha Liyanapathiranage's research focuses on identifying and characterizing plant pathogens and exploring potential control measures for plant diseases. Her work includes investigating the phylogenetic distribution of bacterial secretion systems, as seen in her publication on the genus *Xanthomonas*. She has reported new occurrences of root rot caused by *Phytopythium vexans* and rusty root caused by *Pseudomonas marginalis* in the United States. Additionally, her research examines novel threats like Vascular Streak Dieback to woody ornamentals and explores the potential of natural compounds, such as fire ant venom alkaloids and *Hydrastis canadensis* extracts, for managing soilborne and foliar pathogens. Liyanapathiranage also evaluates chemical and biological products for disease control, including powdery mildew on hydrangea and crown gall on rose.
With 43 publications and 570 citations, Liyanapathiranage has an h-index of 7. Her recent work contributes to the understanding of disease etiology and management strategies within agricultural and ornamental plant systems.
