A corn breeding legend right here at NC State. Major has a large program centered around the incorporation of exotic germplasm into temperate lines. |
|
Rebecca Nelson is an associate professor of Plant Pathology, Plant Breeding and International Agriculture, and serves as Program Director for The McKnight Foundation's Collaborative Crop Research Program . We collaborate in a number of areas , pretty much everything really. Rebecca has her own wikipedia page. |

Guri is responsible for cloning the first plant disease resistance gene. He is an associate professor at Purdue University. We collaborate on the disease lesion mimic project funded by NSF. Scott Hulbert has also provided a lot of material for this work. Cliff Weil is also involved in this work. |
|
Chi-Ren and his folks are taking pictures of ill corn leaves for digital QTL analysis. We are also collaborating with them to image lesion mimic phenotypes. They tend to wander round corn fields holding umbrellas. |
|
Richard is a maize breeder at Ohio State in Wooster. We collaborate on mapping of resistance QTL. Richard is involved in a lot of work with African scientists. |

Funding Other than USDA-ARS we are funded by the following; Corn Growers association of NC Pioneer
Thanks very Much! |

Matt is the new GEM coordinator in Raleigh, stepping into Major Goodman’s oversize shoes. Ironically, we collaborated with him more before he came here. We hope to change that soon |
|
Erik is a Professor and Extension Plant Pathologist in the Department of Plant Pathology, at VPI. He has been kind enough to plant some stuff for us in his wonderful Gray leaf spot nursery over the last few years. |

Others to whom we are grateful: Charlotte Bronson, Amir Sharon and Larry Dunkle, have sent us some very valuable fungal strains. Mike Lee very kindly has given us several really useful populations . He is also the man behind the legendary IBM population. Peg Redinbaugh, Enrico Pe, Owen Hoekenga, Steve Moose, Jim Brewbaker, Mike Kolomiets , Roberto Tuberosa and Alain Charcosset have all been very generous with their germplasm. Snook Pataky, Jeff Wilson,and Bill Tracy have very kindly running some disease assays for us . Steve Scofield and Marty Carson are invaluable sources of advice. We are also very grateful to several folks at Pioneer including; Petra Wolters, Dave Bubeck, Dan Gorman and Dinekar Bhattramakki.

Rick and his colleague X. Ding have shown that viral induced gene silencing (VIGS) works in maize. We are working with him to see if we can optimize the process. |

USDA-ARS Maize Disease Resistance Genetics at NC State |

Sherry and colleagues have created a set of ~600 Near Isogenic lines carrying introgressions from 10 teosinte and 16 landrace accessions in the B73 background, resulting in libraries of small genomic fragments of teosinte in a controlled, temperate background. They have kindly let us screen this population for SLB and GLS resistance to identify introgressions which alter resistance to these disease. |

We are working with Anne Stapleton on the effect of phyloplane microbial diversity on foliar pathogens. |

We work a lot with Randy on projects coming out of his time here and on other disease resistance stuff. |
