Ted Morgan, EGI and Biology, KSU

Link to Morgan Lab

Ted provides his expertise on relating

genotype to phenotype (yes, even in

big bluestem!) and assists on statistical

analyses of the reciprocal transplant data.

Karen Garrett, Plant Pathology and EGI, KSU

and Carolyn Malmstrom, U Wisconsin

Link to Garrrett Lab

Karen’s interest is in the ecotype-specific

sorting of plant pathogens, especially viruses

and rust.

Paul St. Amand, USDA Plant Genotyping Facility

Paul provides much technical expertise on genotyping

big bluestem and data analyses.

Nora M. Bello, Department of Statistics, KSU

Nora gives invaluable statistical advice on the analysis

of phenotypic variation in reciprocal garden data.

Mary Knapp, Climatologist, KSU

Mary provides expertise on

long term historical and current

weather data critical to put

our study in the proper context.

Richard  Wynia  (picture at right)  graciously allowed us to establish our reciprocal transplant gardens at the USDA Plant Materials Center. The Center helps us to maintain our plots, and assists with burning and mowing borders.

Keith Harmoney, Western Kansas Agricultural Research Center, KSU, Hays

Keith  was instrumental in helping us establish and maintain the the reciprocal garden plots (including burning!) and provides sage advice relating to rangeland ecology
