Plant phenotyping methodologies have come a long way from manual scoring and destructive characterization to high-throughput imaging techniques.
Shigella flexneri is an entero-pathogen that is considered a significant public health risk, causing shigellosis or bacillary dysentery, and accounts for the highest percentage of diarrheal deaths annually.
Phylogenetic inference is the process of reconstructing relationships between species from genomic sequence data. The reliability of phylogenetic analysis relies on the quality of the data and the fitness of the substitution models.
Most water fluxes on the land occur through plants via transpiration, and agriculture uses 70% of the water managed by humans.
Scientific and technological advancements in the field of cell physiology over the last thirty years have uncovered the identities and functions of over sixty solute carriers which participate in the transport of amino acids in mammalian cells.
Research interests - Working on developing new methods to combine information from corn, sorghum, and related orphan crops and wild species to identify genetic changes that alter crop traits important to farmers and food traits important to consumers.
Many genes that have been recently identified as determinants of drug resistance in the malaria parasite encode membrane transport proteins (also known as transporters).
