Breakfast at the Barracks - Season 3, Episode 43
Dr. Nicholi (Nick) Vorsa Director Philip E. Marucci Center for Blueberry and Cranberry Researchand Extension Rutgers -- New Brunswick Nick Vorsa #39;s research interests involve the areas of plant breeding, genetics, germplasm evaluation and reproductive plant biology. A major emphasis of his research program is directed towards broadening the genetic base for the genetic improvement of cranberry and blueberry. Specific areas include germplasm collection and evaluation, interspecific gene transfer, and reproductive biology. Populations of wild Vaccinium species have been collected, and are being maintained. Germplasm is being analyzed for genetic diversity and structure (isozymes and RAPDs), disease and insect resistance, DNA content, fruit biochemistry profiles, and sexual an asexual reproductive characteristics. Another area of interest is interspecific gene transfer through sexual hybridization. Areas of research include: polyploid cytogenetics, 2n gametes, chromosome pairing behavior, trait introgression, and gene tagging with RAPDs. Research is also directed at DNA fingerprinting, using RAPDs, to assess genetic diversity and structure in cranberry. Dr. Lara Delmolino, Ph.D., BCBA Director Douglass Developmental Disabilities Center Professor, Graduate School of Professional and Applied Psychology Lara Delmolino is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology at Rutgers University and serves as the Director of the Douglass ...
