Education/Training
Ph.D. in Plant Pathology, North Carolina State University -
1970
M.S. in Plant Pathology, University of Arizona - 1966
B.S. in Plant Pathology, University of Arizona - 1964
Areas of Specialization/Research
Diseases of rice; etiology, epidemiology, control, breeding
for resistance, tissue culture, transformation with PR
genes.
Focuses on the epidemiology, etiology, and control of rice
diseases, breeding for disease resistance in rice,
biological control of rice pathogens, and rice tissue
culture and transformation. Our rice tissue culture efforts
are directed toward developing disease resistance through in
vitro selection of clonal variation, transformation with PR
genes, and improvement of rice tissue culture and
transformation techniques.
