About

Christopher Schardl is a Professor at the University of Kentucky, United States. His research primarily focuses on fungal endophytes, particularly the interactions and genetic diversity of Epichloë species, as well as their roles in plant defenses against herbivory. His recent articles explore topics such as dynamic intron turnover in mitochondrial genomes and the impact of drought stress on tall fescue. He is also involved in advanced genomic analyses employing CRISPR technology.
