Research interests
I am interested in using current sequencing technologies to examine biological questions in plant species. Currently, I am working on the following projects in the Dilkes lab as well as with collaborators across the country.
- Epigenetic control of maize seed development.
- Gene identification using high throughput sequencing in an EMS Variation Inbred Line (EVIL) in Sorghum.
- Natural variation at SYMPATHY FOR THE LIGULE (SOL) controls penetrance of the semidominant Liguless-narrow* mutation in Zea maize.
- Identification by high throughput sequencing of Dhurrinase2 which affects cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin accumulation in Sorghum.
