Research Interests
X. Main Research Interests
Molecular Biology and Biochemistry of Fruit/Pathogen Interactions
Research in the laboratory focuses on understanding the basic processes underlying the interactions between fruits and pathogenic fungi. These interactions known to involve the production and recognition by both plant and pathogen of a variety of signals, but it is frequently difficult to distinguish between the indispensable and the superfluous components of the complex process of infection. In my laboratory, we use chemical, biochemical, genetic, and molecular biological techniques to identify and critically evaluate putative disease factors. Our emphasis is on the biochemical and molecular mechanisms controlled by fungal virulence and fruit resistance factors.
