Ph.D. candidate
East Tennessee State University
Johnson City, Tennessee
I am a Ph.D. candidate at East Tennessee State University, where I am currently doing research on oil biosynthesis in plants. My works are based on understanding the complex network of oil biosynthesis regulation in avocado and applying that knowledge to bio-energy crops. I am specifically interested in understanding the fatty acid metabolism in avocado mesocarp tissue. My dissertation work is based on elucidating the functional role of WRINKLED-paralogs in non-seed tissue.
Recently we published our work: "Functional and Predictive Structural Characterization of WRINKLED2, A Unique Oil Biosynthesis Regulator in Avocado".
