Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Wenjun Deng's research investigates the persistence and transfer of foodborne pathogens, including norovirus surrogates and Tulane virus, within microgreen cultivation systems. Deng also studies nematicidal compounds derived from bacteria, such as Lysinimonas M4, to control the pine wood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. This work explores phytochemicals and specific genes, like sft-4 and Cinnamyl Alcohol Dehydrogenase, influencing nematode reproduction and vitality. Further research examines how bacteria and their components can enhance virus infectivity. Deng has published 11 papers, accumulating 154 citations and an h-index of 7. Collaborations include a shared publication with Giselle Almeida at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
