|
Metabolic engineering of soybean and corn for altered amino acid and protein composition |
|
|
Fungal cell biology relating to pathogenesis, including infection structure function, adhesion, mechanisms of penetration and patterns of colonization. A cytological approach is combined with molecular marker technologies, including fluorescent protein tagging, immunolocalizations, high-pressure freezing, freeze substitution and low temperature scanning electron microscopy. |
|
|
Biochemical genetics and metabolic engineering of lipid biosynethesis pathways; production of edible soybean oils with improved health and functional properties; engineering plant fatty acid biosynthetic pathways to produce novel fatty acids for industrial uses such as organic PVC plasticizers, biodegradable lubricants and new composites and polymers from renewable resources |
|
|
Plant genomics; molecular marker technology, SNPs, maize sequence diversity, association mapping, linkage disequilibrium, DNA chips, bioinformatics. |
