Brown, Judith: Diversity and evolution of the genus Begomovirus (Geminiviridae); Biological types’ of the whitefly B. tabaci complex; Virus-vector specificity: functional genomics and proteomics; Geminivirus-vector interactions; Virus-derived RNAi resistance for crop protection; Molecular diagnostics for emergent virus-vector complexes.
Chandler, Vicki: Our research investigates mechanisms of gene silencing in plants. We use functional genomics and forward and reverse genetics to study paramutation, transposable elements, transgene silencing, and chromatin control of gene expression.
Fane, Bentley: The broad objective of our research program is to elucidate the mechanisms involved in scaffolding-mediated and genome-mediate morphogenesis within the Microviridae system. In addition, we are also beginning to examine the biology of viruses which infect obligate intracellular parasitic bacteria.
Fonseca, Jorge: My main interest is to look at the effects of pre- and postharvest variables on quality of fruit and vegetables. My programs aim to develop new information and alternative technologies for fruit and vegetable production, harvest, handling and fresh-cut processing. The ultimate goal is to aid the industry find economically feasible and environmentally safe practices and technologies that add value to the final product.
Galbraith, David: Biological Instrumentation; Developmental Plant Gene Expression; and Plant Functional Genomics.
Gang, David: Biochemical Genomics, Plant Natural Product Biosynthesis (Specialized Metabolism) and the Evolution of Plant Metabolic Pathways.
Hawes, Martha: Plant and microbial gene expression, with emphasis on genes controlling cell cycle and synthesis of cell walls and other complex polysaccharides
Henderson, David: Statistical applications to genomic and genetic data. Specifically, the development of novel statistical methods for the analysis of DNA microarray experiments and QTL analysis.
