Current research
Dothistroma
Taxonomy, phylogeny and population biology of the red-band needle blight pathogens.
In this study we focus on characterising and describing the pathogens that cause dothistroma needle blight (DNB) or red-band needle blight. We determine their phylogenetic placement within the Mycosphaerellaceae and investigate their host range and geographical distribution. This work also involves the development of microsatellite markers for population studies of D. septosporum and D. pini.
Ceratocystis
Taxonomy, phylogeny and population biology of Ceratocystis species.
Much of this work involves the screening of molecular markers for their efficacy in delineating cryptic species within the Ceratocystis species complexes. In addition we study some of the most pathogenic Ceratocystis species on a population level to determine the invasiveness and movement of these fungi on a global scale.
