Plant Pathology sponsors research interns

SUMMER SCHOLARS -- Undergraduate students working as summer interns on Plant Pathology research projects as Adair, Bollenbacher and NSF-EPSCoR scholars are, from left, Moria Yancy, Caroline Carpenter, Micah Doubledee, Lacy Robinson and Anna Ritzman.

Five undergraduate students are working as summer interns on research projects in the Department of Plant Pathology as Adair and Bollenbacher Scholars and in the NSF-EPSCoR program.

The C. Roy Adair Undergraduate Research Internship Program is funded by an endowment established in memory of a USDA-ARS rice breeder based at the Rice Branch Station who helped establish the Arkansas rice industry.

The Katharine Bollenbacher Memorial Endowment was created in 1984 in memory of a pioneering UA plant pathologist.

The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) is a program designed to fulfill the National Science Foundation's (NSF) mandate to promote scientific progress nationwide.

The interns and their faculty mentors and preliminary areas of research are listed below.

Caroline A. Carpenter of Cabot, a UA food science major: Characterization of a possible new disease in Arkansas Rice. Dr. Richard Cartwright. (Adair)

Anna M. Ritzman of Joplin, a biology major at Missouri Southern University, Joplin: Evaluation of molecular markers to characterize plant pathogenic fungi. Dr. Jim Correll. (Adair)

Lacy D. Robison of Fort Smith, a biology major at Missouri Southern. Characterizing disease resistance in soybean. Dr. Patrick Fenn. (Adair)

Micah D. Doubledee of Oronogo, Mo., a biology major at Missouri Southern. Characterizing populations of Rhizoctonia solani in native and agro-ecosystems. Dr. Craig Rothrock. (Bollenbacher)

Moria Dawn Yancy of Tahlequah, Okla., an organismic biology major at Northeastern State University, Tahlequah. Influence of plant calcium oxalate on a specialist herbivore. Dr. Ken Korth. (NSF-EPSCoR)
