WELCOME TO RUST WORLD
KIM lab is currently dedicated to investigating the molecular interactions between maize and Puccinia, an obligate biotrophic fungus that causes rust disease and results in significant yield loss in corn. As part of our efforts to understand the mechanisms underlying rust disease in maize, we aim to identify rust resistance genes and corresponding fungal genes. Let's make strong rust resistant corn and sorghum!
We study major corn diseases, RUST! You can find the details of the corn diseases here.
