Alejandra M. Jimenez Madrid

This researcher works in plant pathology, focusing on identifying and characterizing fungal, bacterial, and phytoplasma pathogens that cause diseases in crops such as cotton, peanut, corn, citrus, blackberry, and strawberry. Much of the work involves first reports of new or emerging plant diseases in specific U.S. states, genome assembly of pathogens, and monitoring for resistance to fungicides and antibiotics used in agriculture. This research is applied and diagnostic in nature, aimed at helping growers and extension services detect and manage crop diseases.

Publication output has grown notably in recent years, rising from occasional single papers before 2022 to a sustained pace of several publications per year through 2025-2026.
