Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Peter James Icalia Gann's research focuses on plant physiology and genetics, particularly in rice (Oryza sativa). His work investigates the genetic and environmental factors influencing grain quality, such as grain chalkiness, and has explored the role of specific genes, including vacuolar H+ translocating pyrophosphatase, in controlling these traits. Gann has also examined the post-germinative growth of rice and the expression patterns of starch biosynthesis genes under heat stress. His research extends to microbial studies, investigating the carbohydrate hydrolytic activity, antimicrobial resistance, and stress tolerance of bacterial strains for potential probiotic applications. He has also explored natural amylase expression in bacteria for enhanced starch utilization. Gann's scholarly output includes 14 publications with 36 citations and an h-index of 3. He has collaborated with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
