OverviewAI-generated summary

Peter James Icalia Gann's research focuses on molecular and genetic factors influencing plant physiology and human health. In plant science, his work investigates the genetic basis of grain chalkiness in rice, exploring the expression patterns of starch biosynthesis genes and the role of vacuolar proton pumps in plant development. His publications in this area include studies on genotype-dependent and heat-induced chalkiness, as well as the function of specific genes in grain quality and post-germinative growth.

Concurrently, Gann's research extends to human health and microbiology, examining the characteristics of probiotic bacteria such as Lacticaseibacillus paracasei. This includes genomic and biochemical approaches to assess their carbohydrate hydrolytic activity, antimicrobial resistance, and stress tolerance. His recent work also explores the efficacy of novel materials like cellulose hydrogels for wound healing, employing morphoanatomical, histological, and genomic analyses. Collaborations with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock and within the University of Arkansas system support this multidisciplinary research portfolio.
