OverviewAI-generated summary
Chunda Feng's research focuses on the genetic analysis of plant traits, particularly in spinach and cotton. Her work involves identifying genes associated with disease resistance, crop yield, and developmental characteristics. Feng has investigated resistance to white rust and downy mildew in spinach through genome-wide association studies and high-resolution mapping, aiming to identify candidate genes and develop molecular markers.
Her research extends to understanding the genetic control of other important traits, such as bolting time and fruit spine development in spinach. Feng also contributes to understanding the evolutionary genetics of plant pathogens, including the assembly of the genome for *Peronospora effusa*, the causal agent of downy mildew. In cotton, her work has identified genetic sources of resistance to bacterial blight and investigated the transcriptome of resistant germplasm responding to reniform nematodes.
Feng has secured significant federal funding for her research, including grants from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). These grants support work on computational drug design and extending the capabilities of electronic structure methods. She collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including James C. Correll, Gehendra Bhattarai, Kelley J. Clark, and Dotun Olaoye, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 20, 57 total publications, and 1,194 total citations.
