Research Areas

My current research is focused on fungal diseases on cereals, involved to screen breeding material lines of wheat and barley against rust diseases (Stem, Stripe and Leaf rust) and other foliar diseases like Fusarium head blight, spot blotch, net blotch, bacteria leaf streak, and powdery mildew. In addition, I work with wild
types of wheat and barley to find new sources of resistance genes against rust diseases. I am also working on the transgenic plant project to confer resistance
against rust diseases in wheat and barley.
