Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Grant Wiggins studies the interactions between plants and microbes, with a specific focus on rice (Oryza) and plant growth-promoting bacteria such as Azospirillum brasilense and Herbaspirillum seropedicae. His research investigates host-microbial interactions at a molecular level, utilizing techniques like RNA-Seq to analyze gene expression patterns in plant roots during these associations. Wiggins' work also explores biological models and genetic mutations to understand symbiotic relationships and signal transduction pathways involved in these interactions. He has collaborated with researchers from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences and the University of Central Arkansas on shared publications. His scholarly output includes two publications with an h-index of 2 and a total of 98 citations.
