Led by Anuj Sharma · Horticultural Sciences
What we study
The Sharma Lab studies tomato and other solanaceous crops using genomics tools to find and study genes for disease resistance, like bacterial spot. They use whole genome sequencing, marker development, and gene editing to improve crop varieties.
