|
Zhiyong Zhang—Postdoctoral Researcher |
|
Zhiyong was studying how Arabidopsis controls glucosinolate hydrolysis. This involves the cloning of QTL and biochemical characterization of the gene products. |

Adam Wentzell—PhD—Currently: Monsanto |
|
Adam analyzed the complexity of glucosinolate hydrolysisi regulation at the genetic, developmental and ecological levels to find new and novel proteins controlling glucosinolate hydrolysis. |
|
Heather Rowe—PhD—Currently : Univ. of British Columbia |
|
Heather is interested in the natural variation of plant/pathogen interactions. This includes trying to test if this variation is controlled more so by variation between or within different plants. |
|
James Ober—Graduate Student |
|
James was studying how the epistatic interaction of glucosinolate biosynthetic loci controls plant/pest interactions. This involves identifying new genes controlling glucosinolate biosynthesis. |
