Curriculum vitae
Dr. Joshi is working on nematode resistance in cucumber using a system
developed at NC State. The method involves the d0.3 promoter that recognizes
the formation of giant cells when nematodes begin to feed on plant roots.
The promoter works with genes that shut down the giant cell to prevent
nematodes from developing properly, thus providing nematode resistance
to the plant.
