March 2024-present, Supervisory Research Geneticist and Research Leader of the USDA ARS Corn Host Resistance Research Unit, Mississippi State, MS.  **Research Specialty and Interests**: The long-term objective of the research project is to identify and develop corn germplasm with genetic resistance to *Aspergillus flavus* infection and the subsequent accumulation of aflatoxin and genetic resistance to insect damage using both conventional breeding methods and marker assisted selection. In support of this objective, I work with interdisciplinary research team in cooperation with scientists in ARS and other institutions to (1) identify new corn germplasm sources with resistance to *A. flavus* infection and aflatoxin accumulation; (2) identify genes and elucidate functions of genes associated with resistance to aflatoxin accumulation, and develop molecular markers for enhancing maize germplasm with resistance; (3) develop and release maize germplasm lines with resistance to aflatoxin accumulation or damage by southwestern corn borer and fall armyworm; and (4) evaluate the effectiveness of genetic resistance to aflatoxin accumulation when deployed with other control strategies. **Projects** **ProjectsGenetic Improvement of Maize for Resistance to Aflatoxin Accumulation and Fall Armyworm DamageIn-House Appropriated (D)Accession Number:445200Expanding Southern Highbush Blueberries To Underserved Regions of Southeastern U.S.Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement (R)Accession Number:445438Development of New Genomic Resources and Tools for Molecular Breeding in Muscadine GrapeNon-Assistance Cooperative Agreement (S)Accession Number:438652Establishing CRISPR/Cas9-mediated Targeted Mutagenesis Protocol to Develop Seedless Muscadine GrapeNon-Assistance Cooperative Agreement (S)Accession Number:440391New Molecular and Genetic Tools to Select Trees and Plants Better Adapted to Changing Environmental Conditions in the Southeastern United StatesNon-Assistance Cooperative Agreement (S)Accession Number:440629Screening Muscadine Grape for Resistance to Pierce’s Disease PathogenNon-Assistance Cooperative Agreement (S)Accession Number:443317**
