\n<\/a>Research Assistant Professor,\u00a0 Agriculture, Nutrition, and Food Systems
\nUniversity of New Hampshire\n

With the help of New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station (NHAES) staff and\u00a0 assistants, Dr. Mahoney maintains thousands of strawberry plants at the Woodman Farm and in the Macfarlane Greenhouse at UNH. Her goal is to breed strawberries with excellent fruit quality and disease resistance, which are long bearing and locally adapted to the Northeast. Her research aims to develop new varieties of strawberries that will meet the changing needs of growers in the region while addressing consumer demands for high quality, locally grown produce and value-added horticultural products.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"anissa\"\n\tDr. Anissa Poleatewich<\/a>
\nAssistant Professor, Graduate Program Coordinator
\nAgriculture, Nutrition, and Food Systems
\nUniversity of New Hampshire\n

Dr. Poleatewich’s research\u00a0focuses on managing diseases in horticultural crops, such as greenhouse flowers, greenhouse vegetables, strawberries, quinoa, and tree fruit, via the use of sanitation, beneficial microbes, and plant resistance.\u00a0The Poleatewich Lab<\/a>\u00a0specializes in the\u00a0biological control of plant diseases and the role microbes and their metabolites play in plant health, yield and quality. Her research explores the interactions between microbial biopesticides, plants, and the environment to identify best practices for integrated pest management.\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"raul_herrera\"\n\t\u00a0Dr. Ra\u00fal Herrera<\/a>
\nProfessor, Institute of Plant Biology and Biotechnology
\nUniversidad de Talca, Chile\n

Dr. Herrera’s research focuses on functional genomics of plant wall dynamics in forest and fruit species, including\u00a0the Chilean strawberry,\u00a0Fragaria chiloensis<\/em>. Additionally, he investigates genetic markers in diversity studies, as well as functional genomics and transcript analysis.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"alejandra_moya\"\n\tDra. Alejandra Moya<\/a>
\nProfessor, Institute of Plant Biology and Biotechnology
\nUniversidad de Talca, Chile\n

Dr. Moya investigates the physiology of maturation of climacteric and non-climacteric fruits, among them the Chilean strawberry. She studies the role of ethylene and auxins, the development of aromas, plant wall metabolism, and fruit quality.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"eric_bishop_von_wettberg_01\"\n\tDr Eric Bishop von Wettberg<\/a>
\nAssociate Professor, Department of Plant and Soil Science
\nUniversity of Vermont\n

Merging approaches from genomics and evolutionary ecology, Dr. von Wettberg\u00a0studies the consequences of population bottlenecks for adaptation to harsh environments.\u00a0Working to establish a thorough understanding of the evolutionary ecology and population genetics of wild relatives of crops they hope to breed better crops, conserve crop genetic resources, and instill resilence to climate change into agricultural systems.\u00a0The\u00a0von Wettberg lab<\/a>\u00a0works mostly on the wild relatives of chickpea, but\u00a0 also works with lentil, fenugreek, mungbeans, and mangoes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"rick_jellen\"\n\t\t\t\t\"jeff_maughan\"\n\tDr. Rick Jellen<\/a>
\nAssociate Dean, Life Science, Department of\u00a0 Plant and Wildlife Sciences
\nBrigham Young University\u00a0\n\tDr. Jeff Maughan<\/a>
\nProfessor, Department of\u00a0 Plant and Wildlife Sciences
\nBrigham Young University\n\t

Dr. Jellen investigates genetic marker development and diversity in quinoa and its wild relatives (Chenopodium spp.), amaranth (Amaranthus spp.), papalisa or olluco (Ullucus tuberosus), and oca (Oxalis tuberosa). Dr. Maughan’s research is primarily focused on development of genomic tools for accelerated breeding of orphaned crops. These crops (quinoa, amaranth, oca, etc.) were food staples among the ancient civilization of Central and South America.\u00a0 In light of their tolerance to abiotic stress (drought and salinity), these crops have recently received substantial attention as an alternative food crop. Drs. Jellen and Maughan are investigators in the Orphan Crops Lab<\/a>, where they study\u00a0underutilized or orphaned species\u00a0 that could be used for food on a much larger scale in diverse ecosystems.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
