Sondra
and her graduate students are researching movement proteins
produced by the DNA of squash leaf curl virus (SqLCV) and cabbage
leaf curl virus (CLCV.) They hope to determine how these movement
proteins coordinate virus replication and movement of the viral
genome within and between plant cells, and fundamentally, how
they alter the cell structure to accomplish this. The research
Sondra and her students conduct will provide insight into the
specific roles of these proteins in virus infection and will
lead to the development of strategies for engineering broad-based
resistance against this important group of plant pathogens. |
