Ruying Wang

Dr. Ruying Wang is a Researcher at the Department of Horticulture within Oregon State University's College of Agricultural Sciences. Her research focuses on turfgrass disease suppression using Epichloë endophytes and explores the carbon sequestration potential of managed turfgrass systems.

Her investigations span plant-microbe interactions, sustainable turf management practices, and environmental impact assessments of grass systems. Recent work examines irrigation optimization, disease resistance mechanisms, and soil carbon dynamics in turf ecosystems.

Wang's recent publications demonstrate strong focus on sustainable turf management strategies, with recurring themes of disease resistance (particularly fungal pathogens like dollar spot and gray leaf spot), carbon sequestration mechanisms in grass systems, irrigation optimization, and molecular analysis of stress responses in turf species.
