Interests

Research interests include basic and applied aspects of plant - microbe interactions; fungal genetics, plant and fungal molecular virology. Long term goals include isolation and characterization of virus genes; production of transgenic plants and identify extra-chromosomal genetic elements from economically important plant viruses and plant pathogenic fungi, their role in conferring race specificity, pathogenicity and or hypovirulence, and potential use of specific cloned nucleic acid sequences from hypovirulent strains in the biological control of the fungus.
