Harold Corby Kistler
Harold Corby Kistler is an American Adjunct Professor of biology and plant pathology at the University of Minnesota and a fellow of the American Phytopathological Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Early life and career
Kistler obtained his B.S. degree in biology from
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions. He also has been chair of various APS committees including the Genetics Committee, Mycology Committee, and the Physiology, Biochemistry, and Molecular Biology Committee.[2]
Research
In 1998 Kistler along with Kerry O’Donnell, Elizabeth Cigelnik and Randy C. Ploetz had studied
F. graminearum.[4]
In 2007, Kistler led a team of scientists to sequence the genome of the fungal plant pathogen Fusarium graminearum, which causes Fusarium head blight disease on wheat and barley. This led to the discovery of highly polymorphic regions of the genome associated with pathogenic specialization.[5]
