Program Overview

Viruses can cause severe crop losses, reduce significantly the quality of products, and shorten the longevity of plants.  My program emphasizes research and extension on the biology and control of virus diseases of vegetable and fruit crops.  A primary research goal is to understand how viruses cause diseases by studying the molecular and genetic basis of virus-host and virus-vector interactions.  Increasing our knowledge of the mechanisms of virus infection will facilitate the design of more effective and environmentally friendly control strategies.  The ultimate goal of my research program is to develop control measures for virus diseases of vegetable and fruit crops through improved diagnostic methods, cultural practices, traditional breeding, and genetic engineering.  A related objective is to address environmental safety issues over virus-resistant transgenic plants in order to lessen potential risks while preserving the efficacy of this control strategy.  The goals of the extension component of my program include the identification of emerging virus diseases, the education of extension personnel and growers, and the implementation of management procedures of virus diseases of vegetable and fruit crops.
