RESEARCH RESPONSIBILITIES
My program focuses on utilizing genomic technologies to identify and improve control strategies for vegetable diseases. The goal is to assist the agricultural community in growing disease-free vegetable crops in a sustainable manner. We are currently studying two severe bacterial diseases (bacterial canker of tomato and black rot of cabbage), as well as the disease Phytophthora Blight, caused by a water mold. Utilizing genomic fingerprinting methods, we are able to study pathogen populations over time, to determine the most probable source of inoculum. Additionally, we have developed rapid detection and identification macroarray techniques for fungal and oomycete pathogens of vegetables. Finally, by studying plant gene expression in the field, we can gain a better understanding of how and when plant defense responses, such as systemic acquired resistance, are activated in an agro-ecosystem. Appropriate technology for the study of large numbers of field samples, such as real-time PCR and macroarray and microarray analysis, is now available and we are able to follow gene expression of plants in the field.
EXTENSION RESPONSIBILITIES
As on of the vegetable pathologists in the Field of Plant Pathology and Plant-Microbe Biology with Extension responsibilities, my program has focused on bacterial and oomycete pathogens. New York is fortunate to have a climate in which a great diversity of vegetables can be grown, and a knowledgeable and engaged group of growers. Two significant bacterial diseases, bacterial canker of tomato and black rot of cabbage, have severely impacted the state in recent years. We are developing new technologies to both identify and control these pathogens. Additionally, we have recently initiated a large collaborative project to study Phytophthora blight (caused by the oomycete Phytophthora capsici. This disease has a wide host range, and has caused significant economic losses to growers in New York over the last five years. We are employing basic and applied research strategies to identify the most sustainable control strategies for these diseases.
SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES
I have worked to develop and promote partnerships between Cornell University and K-12 educators and students to increase awareness of plant sciences and to expand public outreach opportunities. Additionally, my program interacts with New York and New England vegetable growers to highlight the importance of genomics and the new life sciences in disease diagnostics. We are also working with seed companies, chemical companies and private consultants to improve vegetable disease management while promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
