Research Interests:
Plant Transformation and Plant Molecular Genetics. Interested in
two classes of plant genes. Receptor Protein Kinases, and Plant
Cellulases. We first clone various genes from these two classes,
use RNAi approaches to determine each gene’s function. Then
we used transgenic plants with reporter genes to reveal the site
and timing of expression of each of these genes.
In retirement, he lives near the beach in southern Delaware, and
teaches MLFSC 620-Modern Molecular Genetics. Hobbies include an
outdoor model railroad, ATV riding, surf fishing, beach bumming,
and traveling.
