While disease has been shown to be of enormous importance in            agriculture, we know very little about the importance of disease                in regulating natural plant populations.  Most agricultural                     studies have investigated short-term impacts on genetically                     uniform varieties; effects of disease on long-term population                   fluctuations in nature are not understood.  The present study                   will use the anther-smut disease of white champion to investigate               the effects of a particular class of diseases (those transmitted                by pollinators) on population regulation.  The research will                    combine computer simulation with the study of disease spread in                 experimental populations, so as to understand the potential                     impact of the disease on the plant populations.
