DESCRIPTION OF POSITION
This position provides expertise in genetic manipulations of eukaryotic microorganisms, biochemical
genetics and genes involved in plant host-pathogen interactions . Ideally, the holder will serve as a reference to
others working on applied problems with organisms such as plant pathogens. To this end, research is conducted
which will illuminate not only basic principles of cellular genetics, development and physiology, but which also
has the prospect of significance in solving practical problems.

TEACHING:
The original classroom teaching challenge was to provide, via team teaching, instruction in molecular genetics to
all students (usually >500/semester) in the basic undergraduate course (Genetics 301), and to develop a graduate
level course in my area of specialty (Gen 608, Genetics of Microorganisms). The demand for additional
undergraduate courses in genetics led to the introduction of an elective undergraduate laboratory course (Genetics
401), which in turn was the basis for establishing a laboratory section for all students in Genetics 301. After
successfully initiating the laboratory, teaching responsibilities were shifted to GENE 310 and GENE 603. One or
two undergraduates are typically mentored via laboratory projects in GENE 495 or BESC 482 each semester.
Graduate student training is also an important component of this position.
Formal courses:
A. Current assignments:
Genetics 603
(since 1999) "Introductory course for graduate level students in genetics and related
disciplines; required for almost all advanced courses. (fall semesters)
Genetics 310
(since 1984) "Principles of Heredity", a three credit course offered each fall and spring
semester, that since 1996, is also offered in the summer. Enrollment has fluctuated
between 20 and 80 students per semester.
PLPA/ENT0/PLBR 610 Sp 2014 Teach the plant pathology section of Host Plant Resistance
BESC 482
(since 2011- ) coordinate student seminar presentations in Bioenvironmental Sciences
Topics selected from mutagens, endocrine disruptors and teratogens.
B. Prior assignments:
Genetics 482
Genetics 301
(1996- 2103) "Undergraduate Genetics Seminars" Taught in Fall and Spring semesters
beginning in 1996, with an average of 40 students per year. Students present seminars
using computer graphics and projection.
"Genetics", the basic four credit course for undergraduates, which averaged about 500
students/semester, and 60/summer session.
(1969-1979) 16 lectures and an exam on molecular genetics to each of 3 large Fall and
Spring sections, and each of 2 summer sections.
(1980-1983) One large lecture section each Fall and Spring semester and one summer
session.
Genetics 608
Genetics 401
(1983-1985) Develop experiments, procure equipment, write laboratory manual, prepare
and maintain living materials, order and prepare supplies, and organize, teach and
supervise the 12-14 graduate assistants and 2 instructors required to institute a hands -on
laboratory section for all students enrolled.
(1986) Lecture to one section (119 students)
(1993) One lecture section (128 students)
(1971- 1994) "Genetics of Micro-organisms", a three credit graduate course offered one
semester each year (except 1983-4) to 1994. Eliminated when specific courses in
bacterial, fungal, and protist genetics became available.
"Genetics Laboratory", a limited enrollment (10-12 students) course instituted to meet
student requests for follow-up courses in Genetics. Experiments included transduction
and mapping in phage, complementation and tetrad analysis in Neurospora, mutagenicity
in Salmonella, isozymes in wheat, personal karyotypes, etc,. and a semester-long analysis
of a Drosophila unknown.
