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.
