Research Interests

Plant genetics, particularly legumes (including pea breeding), apples, and grapes. The current focus of my laboratory is in the use of molecular markers to tag genes in a number of cultivated species for marker assisted selection purposes. We also investigate the evolution and systematics of several genera containing cultivated species.
