Host-Pathogen Interactions
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.

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.

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.
