Areas of Interest

My current research on Rhizoctonia solani and Aphanomyces cochlioides in sugar beet involves developing specific DNA-based detection methods, understanding genetic diversity among pathogen isolates and developing and evaluating integrated disease management strategies. I am also interested in understanding the biology and virulence mechanisms of these pathogens using ‘Omics’ technologies.
