Research:

I am currently working on approaches to combine RNAseq analysis of polysomal fractions from wheat and barley tissues with experimental analysis of protein synthesis rates. I am investigating genes associated with the regulation of protein synthesis and turnover in a wheat recombinant inbred line (RIL) population. I am using directed evolution of plant genes for particular plant enzymes in yeast or E.coli and apply transformation technologies to transfer them to model plants for functional analysis.
