- What experience do you have with vegetable crop breeding for disease resistance? Answer: I have experience in breeding tomatoes for resistance to late blight using marker-assisted selection.
- What laboratory-based research have you conducted in the past? Answer: I have worked on plant tissue culture, genetic transformation, and gene expression analysis.
- What is your proficiency in computer and how have you applied it in your past work? Answer: I am proficient in using R programming for data analysis and visualization. I have used it to analyze gene expression data to identify differentially expressed genes.
- What is your understanding of phytophthora root rot and how would you approach developing capsicum hybrids for protected cultivation resistant to it? Answer: Phytophthora root rot is a soil-borne disease that affects many crops, including peppers. To develop resistant capsicum hybrids, I would first screen for resistance in the KTC-152 line and use molecular markers to introgress the resistance genes into other cultivars. I would also evaluate the performance of the hybrids under protected cultivation conditions.
- What are some challenges you anticipate in conducting research in the context of this project? Answer: Some challenges I anticipate include obtaining the necessary plant materials for the project, managing data generated from different experiments, and troubleshooting technical issues that may arise during the course of the research.
