Dr. Steven J. Klosterma’s research focuses on Molecular Plant Pathology, and is a famous expert in the field of molecular epidemiology of air borne diseases.  Dr. Steven J. Klosterma’s has published more than 100 papers in PLoS Pathogen, Phytopathology, Annual Review of Phytopathology, Plant Disease, and BMC Genomics.  

Dr. Krishna V. Subbarao is a professor in the Plant Pathology Department of University of California, Davis. He is also the chief scientist of soil borne disease in the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and editor of Phytopathology.  Dr. Krishna V. Subbarao received the APS Fellow Award of American Society of Plant Pathology in 2010.  His research is about the molecular epidemiology of air borne and soil borne diseases caused by Verticillium spp., Fusarium oxysporium f. sp. Vasinfectum, and Sclerotinia spp.  Dr. Krishna V. Subbarao published over 200 papers in the Annual Review of Phytopathology, PNAS, PLoS Pathogen, PLoS One, Molecular Plant and Microbe Interaction, Phytopathology, and Plant Pathology.
