AREA OF EXPERTISE
Molecular targets and mechanisms for insect control.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Insects cause billions of dollars of losses to crops each year. They also facilitate the introduction of toxin-producing molds into several crops, including corn. Discovery of plant-derived pest resistance genes and mechanisms can lead to the more desirable use of native genes to promote resistance to insects and fungi. However, we have shown that plant genes that code for proteins that affect plant pathogenic fungi can also inhibit growth of fungi used to control insects.
My research interests currently include determining which varieties of corn can positively or negatively influence the effectiveness of fungi used to control insects. I’m also interested in determining and understanding the genes involved in compatible and incompatible interactions, both on the part of the plant and the strains of fungi used to control insects, and determining additives for formulations of the fungi used to control insects that will counteract the plant factors that interfere with their effectiveness. Field corn and sweet corn, especially varieties of sweet corn used in organic production, are the major crops I'm interested in.
The compatible integration of more pest resistant plants, and strains or formulations of fungi that control insects, can lead to better yields and profits for growers, an adequate supply of crop materials for end users, and a safer product for humans and animals.
