Our research is directed primarily toward virus-host
interactions. Our work includes genetic and physiological characterization
of naturally occurring potyvirus resistances in cucumber including
expression of resistance alleles, interaction with viral protein domains,
viral and host determinants of systemic infection, viral host range, and identification of host factors that directly interact with viral
proteins.
Other research efforts include study of the molecular
basis of sex expression in Cucumis and Phytopthora infection of cucumber. We
have developed transformation systems for cucumber and melon and have introduced
several genes for virus resistance, sex expression, and abiotic stress
resistance. We also are involved in examination of risks associated with
transgenic crops.
