OverviewAI-generated summary
Chunda Feng's research program focuses on the genetic analysis of plant traits, particularly in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.). Her work involves identifying genes associated with disease resistance, such as white rust and downy mildew, and traits like bolting and fruit spine development. Feng has utilized genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping to pinpoint these genetic factors.
Beyond spinach, her recent publications also extend to cotton (Gossypium hirsutum), investigating genetic sources of resistance to bacterial blight and analyzing transcriptomes in response to reniform nematodes. Feng has also contributed to foundational research in oomycete genomics, including the telomere-to-telomere genome assembly of *Peronospora effusa*. Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 19, 57 total publications, and 1,171 total citations. Feng has received federal funding for three awards totaling over $1 million, including grants from the NIH and NSF, focused on areas such as computer-aided drug design and electronic structure methods.
Her research group collaborates with other faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including James C. Correll and Gehendra Bhattarai, with whom she has co-authored multiple publications.
