M. Pryor received a Ph.D. in Plant Patholgy from the University of
California, Davis. He also has a Master's Degree in Plant Protection
and Pest Management from the University of California, Davis, and
a Bachelor's degree in Biology from the University of California,
Santa Cruz. Here at the University of Arizona he teaches Advanced
Mycology (PLP 575). His research interests include biological and
cultural control of disease in field, tree, and vegetable crops, phylogenetic
analysis and species concepts in fungi, secondary fungal metabolites,
and environmental mycology. Additional areas of research focus on
biological and genetic aspects of Alternaria in relation to
the development of allergenic rhinitis and asthma. For more information
