1 CURRICULUM VITAE Y. Mbofung-Curtis Iowa State University of Science and Technology Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology Ames, IA Telephone: Cell (515) PERSONAL STATEMENT Dynamic Plant Pathologist and Seed Physiologist with experience in research on corn, soybean and lettuce pathogens, seed health testing, seed transmission of wilt-causing pathogens, agricultural plant pest diagnostic tool development, pathogen population dynamics and phylogeny, in vitro and in vivo disease screening and selection, bioanalytical methods development and optimization, transgene analysis, genetic transformations. A talented project manager and team leader with years of research experience in research project management and execution. EXPERIENCE May 2012 present Assistant Scientist, Iowa State University, Department of Plant Pathology & Microbiology. Projects: Elucidation of potential corn hybrid resistance mechanisms to the bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. nebraskensis (Cmn), the causal agent of Goss wilt of corn. Determination of the relationship between Goss leaf blight severity and seed infection and transmission in corn. Design of primers to detect Cmn in corn seed. Determination of virulence factors, isolation and characterization of native plasmids in Cmn. Responsibilities: Design greenhouse experiments to elucidate corn hybrid resistance mechanisms to the bacterium Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. nebraskensis. Use scanning electron and confocal laser scanning microscopy to study structural changes in corn leaves infected with Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. nebraskensis. Design field experiments to determine the relationship that exists between Goss leaf blight severity and seed infection and transmission in corn. Develop standard operating procedures for experiments and mentor graduate and undergraduate students of the Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology. Develop technology for accurate pathogen diagnosis in corn. Demonstrated a relationship between Goss s leaf blight disease severity and seed infection and transmission of Cmn. Since Goss s wilt is a disease of major phytosanitary importance, this information would be very important for the seed trade. Demonstrated that tolerance in corn hybrids is associated with the production of a thick matrix in xylem and mesophyll cells that inhibit the multiplication of bacteria, resulting in slow lesion expansion. 1
2 Showed that tolerance to Cmn infection is induced approximately 10 days after infection. January 2010-May 2012 Research Assistant, Iowa State University, Crop Production and Physiology, Department of Agronomy, Seed Science Center. Projects: Optimizing storage conditions for maintaining soybean seed quality. Corn and soybean seed health and seed quality testing. Showed that soybean seeds stored better and maintained higher viability and vigor than untreated seeds under low temperature and relative humidity conditions. Demonstrated that application of fungicides and insecticides to seeds may be advantageous in maintaining seed quality. Showed that low temperature and relative humidity synergistically minimized aging reactions and fungal colonization in the treated seeds. Demonstrated that the oil content of soybean seeds did not significantly influence the seed viability but significantly affected seed vigor. Showed that soybean seeds bred for high protein contents store better when storage temperatures are 10 C and the relative humidity did not exceed 40%. December December 2009 Projects: Assessment of population diversity in pathogen population in Iowa, causal agent of the sudden death syndrome (SDS) of soybean. Responsibilities: Determine the morphological and molecular characterization of SDS Fusarium spp. using RAPD, ISSR, Minisatellites and in-gel hybridization with microsatellite probes. Correlation of genotype groups with aggressiveness of isolates using greenhouse pathogenicity protocols sensitive enough to detect small differences in genotype. Development of a new TaqMan real-time PCR assay for quantification of Fusarium virguliforme in soil and soybean roots. Determination of temperature, light and ph effects on growth, sporulation and chlamydospore production in F. virguliforme. In collaborative studies, screened soybean lines for resistance to F. virguliforme for the identification of qualitative trait loci. Identified 25 different genotypes within the F. virguliforme population, indicating a greater genetic variability within the US populations of F. virguliforme than was previously known. Identified a single major genotype from Iowa and Minnesota suggesting a single genotype may have been introduced into the region, and that minor genotypes may have arisen from mutations of this single genotype. Showed that the low level of genetic variation within F. virguliforme was a result of recent introduction of the pathogen. Showed that environmental factors were very important in controlling F. virguliforme. 2
3 Demonstrated a need to screen for both root rot and leaf scorch resistance in cultivars that are bred for resistance against this pathogen. Developed a real-time PCR assay to identify the pathogen in soil with the sequence of a virulence factor using the TaqMan chemistry. Showed that rotating soybean with corn, alfalfa, and red clover could suppress SDS development and reduce yield loss due to the disease. Showed that integrating crop rotation with use of resistant varieties may provide a stronger management practice for SDS. August December 2006 University of Arizona, Department of Plant Science, Division of Plant Pathology, Tucson, AZ. Projects: Molecular phylogeny, population dynamics and seed transmission of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae, causal agent of wilt in lettuce. Identified genetically different strains of F. o. f. sp. Lactucae, and determined that only one of these strains was present in the U.S and all three present in Japan. The implication was that the pathogen was introduced into the United States from a foreign source. Developed and evaluated a polymerase chain reaction-based (PCR) assay for the rapid detection of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lactucae in lettuce seeds that is faster, more sensitive, and more accurate than the conventional methods. Showed that the pathogen population in Arizona was more homogenous than that in California, implying that the pathogen moved into Arizona from California. Proposed the use of seed treatments and resistant lettuce cultivars for the best management strategies against the disease. August 1994 September 1996 Graduate Research Assistant, Department of Crop Science, University of Cape Coast, Cape Coast, Ghana. Project: Cassava root rot disease in the central region of Ghana: incidence and distribution. Determined the spatial distribution and identified the causal agents of cassava root rot disease (Fusarium sp., Polyporus sulphureus and Gliocladium sp.) Identified soil types and conditions that favor the development of cassava root rot disease. Laid the groundwork for further studies on the possibility of in-ground storage of cassava roots for rural communities in Ghana. Additional areas of research expertise: Cloning and transformation of the rice blast fungus, Magnaporthe grisea with expression vectors. 3
4 Phylogenetic analysis of small-spored catenulate Alternaria species belonging to the Alternaria alternata species-group using ITS and GPD. Extraction and isolation of Alternaria proteins associated with allergic reactions leading to asthma using SDS-PAGE and IEF. Diagnosis of fungal plant pathogens and excellent knowledge of fungal and bacterial culture maintenance in the laboratory.
