Lab members, new and old

We added several new lab members in 2018. Welcome to Jesse Kuze (research technician), Jorge Reyes (Ph.D student) and Ayse Topco (research assistant). We all gathered together to say goodbye to Daniel Powell, our long time undergraduate research assistant who graduated.

About the Lab

Our research program focuses on developing molecular tools for watermelon and integrating these tools into our breeding program. Thus we strive to bridge the gap between basic genomic research and applied cultivar development.

Our current research projects endeavor to identify loci and genes associated with important fruit, seed, flower and disease resistance traits in watermelon.

Participants in our research group gain experience in field, greenhouse and laboratory research as well as genomic analysis and bioinformatics. The majority of research is carried out by graduate and undergraduate students, as well as high school students through the Young Scholars Internship Program.
