Dr. Vidaver's research concentrates on phytopathogenic bacteria and bacteria associated with plants. She studies the role of bacterial plasmids in determining phytopathogenic and other properties. She is interested in control of diseases caused by phytopathogenic bacteria and the manipulation of bacteria potentially beneficial to plants. These studies include assessment of ecological relationships of these bacteria in agricultural environments.
