NLR diversity in sweetpotato relatives

We used an in silico approach to examine diversity and phylogenetic placement of sweetpotato diploid wild relative NLRs

Effector repertoire

Our efforts to identify the core effector repertoire of Ceratocystis fimbriata

Population biology

We used genome mined microsatellite markers to describe Phytophthora capsici population structure in the eastern Unite States

Resistance to Phytophthora Blight of Pepper

We screened a diverse panel of pepper cultivar and land races for resistance to Phytophthora capsici

Renseq on hexaploid sweetpotato

Check out how we plan to use RenSeq to reveal the complete sweetpotato NLR catalog
