Sushil Chhapekar

Dr. Sushil’s key focus is to dissect and characterize the novel loci/genes through gene editing and to develop functional markers to assist genomics-assisted breeding for nematode resistance. His goal is to enhance the understanding of molecular aspects of plant-nematode interaction and translate this knowledge to provide new genetic resources for limiting the impact of nematodes in the northern and southern regions of the U.S. Throughout his research discoveries, he develops genomes, transcriptome, miRNAome for important stress and nutraceutical traits in major crop species and characterized the gene functions. He is implementing high throughput technologies including single-cell RNA-sequencing and gene editing…
