Publications

Current research involves characterization of phytopathogenic bacteria in collaboration with Dr. Mohammad Arif and students. Previous work on bacterial plant pathogens resulted in a large collection of bacterial strains now being reclassified with molecular methods. The collection of publications may be accessed through this site by clicking on categories.
