Current Projects:

1) Phyloecology of Alternaria alternata occupying various ecological niches on citrus - L. Carpenter-Boggs and T. Peever in collaboration with Lori Carris, WSU and L.W. "Pete" Timmer, U of Florida

2) Lower-level phylogenetic/phylogeographic analysis of the "alternata" species complex - M. Andrew and T. Peever in collaboration with Barry Pryor, U of Arizona

3) Mating system of A. alternata on citrus - M. Kawabe and T. Peever

4) Molecular evolution of mating (MAT) genes in A. alternata and other Alternaria spp. - M. Kawabe and T. Peever

5) Molecular evolution of toxin genes in A. alternata on citrus - T. Peever in collaboration with Kazuya Akimitsu, Kagawa University, Japan

Completed Projects:

1) Molecular systematics of Alternaria spp. associated with black rot (a post-harvest disease) - L. Carpenter-Boggs and T. Peever in collaboration with Lori Carris, WSU and L.W. "Pete" Timmer, U of Florida

2) Molecular systematics of citrus-associated Alternaria spp. -  L. Carpenter-Boggs and T. Peever in collaboration with Lori Carris, WSU and L.W. "Pete" Timmer, U of Florida

3) Worldwide phylogeography of the citrus brown spot pathogen - T. Peever in collaboration with L.W. "Pete" Timmer, U of Florida
