  • Areas of Interest

    Research; genetics and biotechnology investigations in oat.

  • Research

    I conduct research on genetics, genomics, and germplasm development and enhancement in oat with emphasis on molecular marker development, identification of partial resistance to crown rust, and transfer of crown rust resistance from wild oat relatives.
