OverviewAI-generated summary
Chunda Feng's research focuses on the genetic underpinnings of plant disease resistance and crop improvement, particularly in spinach and cotton. His work investigates the genetic diversity and population structure of pathogens like *Peronospora effusa*, the causal agent of downy mildew in spinach, employing techniques such as genotyping-by-sequencing and single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Feng has also contributed to understanding the genetic factors influencing cotton fiber quality and yield by constructing linkage maps and identifying quantitative trait loci (QTLs) using various marker systems, including SRAP, SSR, and RAPD. He has also explored the genetic basis of fertility restoration in cotton, specifically identifying markers linked to the Rf1 gene.
Beyond plant genetics, Feng has received federal funding for computational research in drug design and the development of electronic structure methods. He served as PI on two grants totaling $735,107 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for extending the time and length scale of electronic structure methods through force matching and for developing efficient and accurate force fields for computer-aided drug design. He was also Co-PI on an NSF grant for precipitation and streamflow reconstruction in the Amazon River Basin. Feng has published 57 papers, accumulating 1,220 citations, and has an h-index of 21. He collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including James C. Correll, with whom he has co-authored nine publications.
