As part of the NSF funded project, Dr. Atamian\u2019s group (in collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/biology.ucdavis.edu\/people\/venkatesan-sundaresan\">Dr. Venkatesan Sundaresan<\/a>; University of California, Davis) will conduct genomic and physiological experiments to better understand the molecular mechanisms and the evolution of these interactions.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;A better understanding of these interactions and how to manipulate them may allow for improved agricultural productivity through efficient interaction with certain natural microbes.&#8221; &#8211; Dr. Hagop Atamian<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In a separate project funded by the USDA-NIFA and in collaboration with Dr. Joseph Cahill, Dr. Atamian&#8217;s team will generate genomic resources for future Chia (<em>Salvia hispanica<\/em> L.) breeding programs. Chia seeds are gaining popularity worldwide, particularly in the US, as a healthy oil and food supplement for human and animal consumption due to its healthy oil composition, high protein, fiber, and antioxidant contents.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe diverse population of <em>S. hispanica<\/em> plants growing in nature presents valuable opportunity to genetically improve the varieties currently cultivated using modern plant breeding approaches\u201d &#8211; Dr. Hagop Atamian<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>However, the lack of having a genetic map has hindered the breeding process. In this project, Dr. Atamian&#8217;s team will generate a high-density genetic map which will be applied to future genomics-enabled breeding efforts towards value-added improvements of <em>S. hispanica<\/em> tailored to industry needs.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am very grateful for the support of NSF and USDA-NIFA funding agencies which will enable me to conduct cutting-edge research with my undergraduates and provide them valuable hands-on research experience. Finally, I thank the Chapman Community for making my first year at Chapman University so enjoyable and productive with special thank you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chapman.edu\/our-faculty\/jennifer-funk\">Dr. Jennifer Funk<\/a> (director of the biological sciences program) for her continuous support.&#8221; &#8211; Dr. Hagop Atamian<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dr. Atamian joined Chapman University in 2018.
