OverviewAI-generated summary

Chunda Feng's research focuses on the genetic basis of plant and animal traits, particularly in spinach and cotton. Recent work includes genome-wide association studies to identify genetic markers for disease resistance and other agronomic traits in spinach, such as resistance to white rust, downy mildew, and bacterial blight. Feng has also investigated genes controlling fruit spine development and bolting in spinach. In cotton research, Feng has identified new genetic sources of resistance to bacterial blight and analyzed the transcriptome of cotton germplasm responding to reniform nematodes.

Feng's work also extends to computational biology, with grant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) for developing efficient force fields for computer-aided drug design and extending the time and length scales of electronic structure methods. Additional NSF funding has supported research on precipitation and streamflow reconstruction in the Amazon River Basin. Feng leads a research group and has published 57 papers, with an h-index of 19 and over 1,100 citations. Key collaborators include James C. Correll and Gehendra Bhattarai from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
