OverviewAI-generated summary

M. W. Shaw, Professor of Plant Disease Ecology at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, conducts research focused on managing plant diseases and understanding resistance mechanisms. His work includes investigating biological control agents for diseases affecting crops such as cherries. Recent publications detail the use of microbial agents like *Bacillus subtilis* and *Aureobasidium pullulans* to suppress post-harvest rot and inoculum of *Monilinia laxa*. Further research explores the spatial spread of plant pathogens, such as *Ditylenchus gigas* and its interaction with *Botrytis fabae* on *Vicia faba*, as well as the symptomless growth of *Botrytis cinerea* in *Lactuca sativa* and *Arabidopsis thaliana*.

Shaw's scholarship also extends to modeling the selection for fungicide resistance, with a recent analysis examining how dose splitting impacts the development of resistance to both target-site and non-target-site fungicides. He has published extensively, with a h-index of 45 and over 6,800 citations across 233 publications. His collaborative network includes researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, such as Lauren L. Berry and Caleb P. Roberts.
