Research Interests

Dr. Redinbaugh is a Research Leader and Research Plant Molecular Geneticist at the USDA/ARS Corn and Soybean Research Unit in Wooster. Her primary research interest is identify and elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying the genetic and biological bases of virus resistance and tolerance in maize. Current approaches to understanding the molecular basis of virus resistance include projects to define the maize response to virus infection at the molecular level, to identify, map and isolate maize genes encoding virus resistance, and to characterize virus replication and distribution of viruses in resistant and susceptible maize germplasm.
