Research Interests :
- Population diversity: Serological, biochemical and genetic studies undertaken to identify virulent subpopulations of bacteria
- Phylogenetics: Genetic relationships among strains in selected species of plant pathogenic bacteria
- Diagnostics: Development and application of specific immunodiagnostic and DNA-based assays for detection and identification of pathogens distributed worldwide in seeds and plant propagative materials.
- Epidemiology: Use of diagnostic markers to determine primary sources of inoculum for bacterial diseases of tropical crops.
- Biological control: Effects of beneficial bacteria on disease prevention. Immunodiagnostic and DNA-based methods used to evaluate host-pathogen interactions in plant tissues. Effects of beneficial bacteria on the infection process was evaluated using a genetically modified bioluminescent strain of the anthurium blight pathogen, now renamed: Xanthomonas phaseoli pv. dieffenbachiae.
