Biography
Dr. Carla Eaton is currently working as a Lecturer in the Department of Genetics, Massey univesity , Newzealand. Her research interests includes  interactions, or symbioses, formed between plants and fungi. she is particularly interested in the molecular mechanisms that determine whether a given interaction will be beneficial or detrimental. This is investigated using a variety of approaches, including gene replacement of predicted symbiotic regulators, and high throughput RNA sequencing of symbiotic mutants.she is serving as an editorial member and reviewer of several international reputed journals. Dr. Carla Eaton is the member of many international affiliations. She has successfully completed her Administrative responsibilities. She has authored of many research articles/books related to  interactions, or symbioses, formed between plants and fungi. I am particularly interested in the molecular mechanisms that determine whether a given interaction will be beneficial or detrimental. This is investigated using a variety of approaches, including gene replacement of predicted symbiotic regulators, and high throughput RNA sequencing of symbiotic mutants..
