Research

The goal of my research is to gain understanding into the specific host-pathogen relationship between Brassica species and their pathogen, Leptosphaeria maculans.
I am currently engaged in determining the extent of genetic diversity between different L. maculans isolates in relation to geographic area and agronomic practice.
An important part of this work involves studying and characterising the genes that are involved in the specific plant pathogen interaction between Brassica species and L. maculans.
