  17     From left to right: Sunitha Gurusinghe (postdoc), Andres
  18     Schwember (MS student), Dr. Kent Bradford, Jason Aryris (Ph.D.
  19     student), Peetambar Dahal (Staff Research Associate), and Derek

  24     <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: left">Dr. Kent J. Bradford is a
  25     professor of the Department of Vegetable Crops and Weed
  26     Science, founder and director of the Seed Biotechnology Center,
  27     UC Davis.</p>
  28
  29     <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: left">Dr. Bradford's research
  30     interests are focused on seed biology, including:</p>
  31
  32     <ol>
  33       <li>modeling of germination in seed populations,</li>
  34
  35       <li>genetics, molecular biology and biochemistry of seed
  36       germination and dormancy,</li>
  37
  38       <li>seed quality, enhancement and longevity, and</li>

  41     </ol>
  42
  43     <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: left">Dr. Bradford's group uses
  44     tomato seeds as their experimental system to investigate the
  45     biochemical and molecular mechanisms controlling germination
  46     and dormancy. Their research has focused on cell wall
  47     hydrolases that might degrade the endosperm cell walls. They
  48     have found and investigated a number of genes involved in this
  49     process, such as LeMAN2, LeMAN1, LeXET4, GluB, Chi9, and
  50     LeEXP4, LeXPG1, LVA-P1, LeEXP8 and LeEXP10. An intriguing
  51     recent discovery was the gene LeSNF4 &mdash; a subunit of a
  52     protein kinase, regulated by ABA &mdash; which is involved in
  53     sugar-sensing and metabolic regulation. Work in this area is
  54     continuing with the support of NSF and USDA-NRICGP grants.</p>
