The Noel Lab
The goal of the lab is to improve the livelihood of growers/farmers in Alabama, the US, and the world by addressing biotic and abiotic diseases of crops through research, education, and service.
About Us
The lab studies and teaches about the fungi, bacteria, and oomycetes associated with a crop plant to understand how complex dynamics in various plant organs/environments contribute to disease development and abiotic stress tolerance. We will focus on how agricultural management shapes fungal and oomycete diversity and interactions within the plant microbiome.
