Expertise and Research Interests

 

My honours project focused on analyzing alternative oxidase RNAi mutants and the effect this silencing has on salt stress tolerance. Techniques employed in this project include N. tabacum Agrobacterium-mediated transformation, protein purification and western blotting.

 

My PhD project involves analysing wheat and maize protein kinases and their effect on drought stress tolerance. Techniques employed in this project to date are PCR, gene cloning, protein expression and yeast two hybrid analysis.
