Mark C. Black Efforts are underway to determine supplemental hosts of Xylella fastidiosa 'grape strain' in the vicinities of wine grape vineyards with Pierce's disease. Mike Kolomiets The long-term goal of my research program is to identify defense-related significance of maize oxylipin biosynthetic and signal transduction pathways by using functional genomics approaches. Currently, the focus is on the identification of function of individual lipoxygenase and oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases in resistance to mycotoxins, aflatoxins and fumonisins, produced by Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides respectively. Clint W. Magill Differential responses of susceptible and resistant cultivars of sorghum and cotton to invasion by fungal pathogens continue to be a focus of research in my laboratory. T. Erik Mirkov Using plant viruses that infect a broad range of monocots, we are studying the function of their encoded suppression of RNA silencing, the host proteins that they interact with, and the function of these host proteins. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have concerning our program. |
