專(zhuān)家簡(jiǎn)介：

Dr. Chin-Feng Hwang is a Professor working on the development of molecular genetic tools for marker-assisted selection (MAS) to expedite grape and black walnut breeding programs in the Department of Environmental Plant Science and Natural Resources, Darr College of Agriculture at Missouri State University.  The current research in the Hwang lab emphasizes the development and release of new Vitis aestivalis-derived ‘Norton’/V. vinifera hybrids with enhanced pathogen resistance, cold hardiness and improved fruit quality for winemaking.  Norton is a unique grape.  Although it is grown in U.S. regions where V. vinifera production requires extensive pesticide use, it has naturally evolved resistance to powdery mildew, downy mildew and Botrytis bunch rot.  It is cold hardy and produces wine approaching the quality of V. vinifera-based wine.  The integration of effective genetic resistance from Norton into V. vinifera cultivars would reduce growers’ dependence on chemical inputs and have significant environmental, health and financial benefits.  The overall goals of Dr. Hwang’s research program are to use genetic markers to rapidly deploy favorable alleles, accelerate breeding cycles for new cultivar release and train a new generation of plant breeders.  Laboratory activities include classical breeding and inheritance studies, plant-pathogen interactions, DNA marker analysis, linkage map construction and quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection.
