Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Asela Wijeratne's research focuses on understanding gene expression and regulatory networks in response to environmental stressors and pathogen interactions. Her work has investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to water deficit in Petunia × hybrida using time-course transcriptomic analysis and RNA sequencing. Additionally, she has examined host-pathogen interactions, specifically in the soybean-Phytophthora sojae pathosystem, by inferring gene regulatory networks.
Her research also extends to the study of parasitic plants and symbiont population structures. Wijeratne has contributed to understanding gene expression during the germination of Striga, a parasitic plant, and has investigated the host specificity and population dynamics of avian feather mites. Her publications include work on resolving intergenotypic resistance in sorghum and assessing the soybean-Phytophthora sojae pathosystem.
Wijeratne holds a high-impact researcher designation, evidenced by her h-index of 21 and over 1,678 citations across 95 publications. She is a Co-PI on an NSF grant totaling $1,999,484, aimed at understanding invasion and disease ecology and evolution through computational data education. She collaborates with several faculty members at Arkansas State University, including Brett Hale, Than J. Boves, Emily S. Bellis, and Andrew D. Sweet, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
