Research summary

Stanton B. Gelvin's research focuses on how the soil bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens transfers and integrates its DNA into plant genomes, a natural process widely used as a tool for plant genetic engineering. His work examines the bacterial proteins (like VirE2) and plant repair machinery involved in this DNA transfer and integration, as well as applications of CRISPR/Cas gene-editing technology in crops such as rice and tobacco. Prospective students would engage with molecular and cell biology techniques studying plant transformation mechanisms and genome editing.

Publication output has been low and fairly sporadic over the last decade, with a peak of six papers in 2018 and generally one to two papers per year since, including a gap in 2024.
