Jon Hulvey is an undergrad at UGA. He is participating in research in David Porter's laboratory, Department of Botany. This summer, Jon is working on finding the distribution of chytrids over one of the GCE/LTER transects from salty to freshwater marshes. He has also discovered an interesting problem in the form of the high frequencies that he is finding for Pythium graminicola var. stagni over his transect. Could this Pythium at least sometimes be pathogenic on marshgrass roots (like its terrestrial counterpart can be for cereals)?
