Career Trajectory
Bio
The two major disciplines in our research program are plant pathology, involving studies on the etiology and control of various fungal diseases on vegetable and horticultural crops, and plant biotechnology, where we aim to improve plant resistance to disease using techniques in plant tissue culture, molecular biology, and through genetic engineering.
Our studies on the ecology and control of fungal pathogens, particularly those that are soilborne, has emphasized elucidating how these pathogens infect plants, the biochemical and structural changes that occur in the host as a result of infection, and establishing strategies for disease control. These include chemical, biological, and cultural approaches to reducing the impact of disease. Most of the research emphasis to date has been directed toward cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), carrot (Daucus carota L.), and ginseng (Panax quinquefolius L.). Specific research areas include microscopic investigations of host-pathogen interactions, development of novel chemical methods for disease control, and elucidating the efficacy and mode of action of biological control agents against fungal pathogens.
In the area of plant biotechnology, protocols for the regeneration from explants in tissue culture of vegetable and horticultural crop species are being developed. The availability of these protocols is a step toward introgressing genetic traits from different species through genetic engineering, with the ultimate goal of transferring disease resistance traits. In the area of genetic transformation, the introduction of novel traits through Agrobacterium-mediated gene transfer systems should allow us to elucidate the function and stability of novel proteins in plants, and how they could impact on the host-pathogen interaction.
