Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Yeshi A. Wamishe's research focuses on understanding plant diseases, particularly in rice. A significant area of his work involves studying the genetic basis of disease resistance in rice, investigating specific resistance genes and their mechanisms. He has explored the population dynamics of rice blast pathogens over time and characterized the genetic makeup of rice populations for breeding purposes. Wamishe also investigates bacterial pathogens that cause diseases in rice, such as bacterial panicle blight, and examines methods for detecting quantitative resistance to pathogens like Rhizoctonia solani. His research extends to identifying seedling resistance genes in wheat against leaf rust. Wamishe has published 49 papers, which have been cited 732 times, and holds an h-index of 12.
