Research Projects:

Tomato: SNP Validation and genetic diversity in cultivated tomatoes and grapes The distribution of genetic variation in cultivated tomato DNA polymorphism estimates within domesticated tomato DNA polymorphism in tomato, a crop with a history of selection, bottlenecks, and introgression Evaluation of SNP markers across tomato landraces Highly polymorphic genes in cultivated tomato Prediction of single nucleotide polymorphisms in tomato:  How useful is EST sequence diversity? A search for molecular diversity in tomato Polymorphism prediction Genetic variation in heirloom versus modern tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) cultivars Genotype variation in duplicate accessions of heirloom tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum) usng eight microsatellite markers

Brassica: Utility of BoCAL-a and BoAP1-a genotypes in identifying broccoli and cauliflower accessions BGSL-ELONG as a candidate diagnostic marker in phenotypically diverse Brassica populaitons Genotypes at the BoCAL-a locus in B. oleracea do not predict broccoli, cauliflower, and purple cauliflower phenotype Genotypes at the BoCAL locus in broccoli, cauliflower, and purple cauliflower accessions

Winter Squash: Sequence-based amplified polymorphisms are useful for studying genetic diversity of winter squash Molecular genetic marker comparison in winter squash (Cucurbita maxima)
