Bio/Research

Research focuses on how bacterial pathogens interact with plants and other bacteria. Emphasis is being placed on Agrobacterium vitis and Xylella fastidiosa. For Agrobacterium we are studying regulatory systems and structural genes that are associated with plant interactions including tumorigenesis, necrosis and ability to inhibit tumorigenesis. This includes a quorum-sensing and other regulatory systems. The understanding of such interactions will facilitate the development of novel disease controls.
