• Anastasia Atucha Zamkova –KESS (With Maelor Forest Nursery) Identifying molecular markers for frost tolerance in Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis)

• Simon White - KESS (With Sarvari Research Trust) Breeding strategies to improve blight resistance in Sarpo potatoes

WILLING TO SUPERVISE PROJECTS IN THE FOLLOWING GENERAL AREAS:

Crop genetics – with emphasis on rice, barley, tomato, potato and the genetic and environmental effects on their abiotic and biotic stress resistance. Quantitative trait locus (QTL) mapping, functional foods; sustainable food, fuel and fibre production and plant pathology. Projects involving molecular markers, genomics, field or glasshouse experiments and participatory methods/citizen science will be considered. Enquiries welcome.

My research uses genetics and genomics tools to address global food secuirty issues. I work in partnership with growers, breeders and industry and use genetic diversity to inform trait improvement in economically important species. A current project Transformative Reduced Input Potatoes - TRIP - includes Dyson Farming Ltd., The James Hutton Institute, Emerald Research, Light Science Technologies, The Sarvari Research Trust.Ìý
