Projects 1 – 10 of 39
- Agricultural Biotechnology Support Project II
-
2008 project
-
The project is focused on the safe and effective development and commercialization of bio-engineered crops in developing countries.
- Analysis of pollination responses in crucifers
-
2006 – 2010 project
-
The goal of the project is to understand how cell-cell recognition signals the arrest of a critical developmental pathway in the reproductive phase of the plant's life cycle. Our focus is the self-incompatibility signaling pathway of the...

- Arabidopsis thaliana as a model for the study of self-incompatibility, diversification of floral architecture, and evolution of inbreeding
-
2008 project
-
We are trying to understand the molecular basis of specificity and of receptor-based signaling in the self-incompatibility response of crucifers.
- Arthropod sensory biology
-
2007 project
-
People are typically ignorant of spiders. Such ignorance fosters fear and overuse of pesticides to control these largely beneficial arthropods. Dr. Linda Rayor and I worked with the NYSDEC to develop and disseminate an informational brochure on the...
- Chemical profiling of eggs from New York state and their suitability in the manufacture of non-food derivatives
-
2007 project
-
This project is assessing the quality of phospholipids (lecithin) from eggs produced in New York state and their potential use by the U.S. pharmaceutical industry in drug formulation. We will also address the production of functional foods based on...
- Controlled-environment agriculture
-
2007 project
-
The aim of this project is to make local, year-round production of fresh vegetables in greenhouses an economic reality in New York state. The major focus has been on the energy inputs to reduce electrical energy requirements.
- Determinants of eating behavior and the control of body weight
-
2007 project
-
We are developing a technique, Caloric Titration, that will help people prevent weight gain and sustain a weight loss.
- Development, implementation, and outreach for emerging technologies of plant pathogen detection
-
2009 – 2011 project
-
We are developing a multi-pathogen detection system for the rapid identification of known and emerging pathogens of solanaceous crop plants (potato, tomato, pepper, and eggplant).
- Effects of transgenic Bt crops on soil ecology
-
2007 project
-
Transgenic Bt crops are planted on over 60 million acres worldwide, yet their potential impact on soil ecology has not been fully elucidated. We are examining the effects of Bt crops on above- and below-ground carbon (C) allocation, residue...
