Biosheadline bar   Peg RedinbaughResearch LeaderResearch Plant Molecular GeneticistAdjunct Associate ProfessorEducation••Ph.D. Biochemistry, State University of New York••M.S. Biochemistry, State University of New York••B.S. Biology, University of Albany-SUNYResearch GoalsI'm interested in identifying and elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying the genetic and biological bases of virus resistance and tolerance in maize and soybeans.  Our current lab objectives include: identifying and characterizing viruses that infect corn and soybean; investigating the effects of genetic factors and light on virus resistance; identification of virus resistance genes; developing corn viruses as gene vectors; and, characterizing virus movement in insect resistant soybeans.Rouf MianResearch Molecular GeneticistEducation••Ph.D. Major: Plant Physiology; Minor: Molecular Genetics and Statistics University of Illinois at Urbana••Post Grad Diploma, Seed Technology, Massey University, New Zealand••M.S., Crop Science, Bangladesh Agricultural UniversityResearch GoalsConduct research to enhance soybean germplasm for resistance to diseases, insects, and other desirable traits.Lucy R.
