Research Interests

My principal research interest is in the influence of rhizosphere microbiology and host physiology on the initiation and development of root diseases in trees. The focus in this work has been fungi including Heterobasidion and Armillaria , which attack secondarily thickened roots, and species of Fusarium, Rhizoctonia, Phytophthora and Pythium that are mainly associated with fine roots. A range of host trees are used, both angiosperm and gymnosperm.

Recently, the research focus in my laboratory has shifted somewhat to the potential for alien invasive pathogens to cause major problems in forest ecosystems; several research programmes are underway in this field.

Further research is underway on root pathogens of horticultural crops, including tomato and Gladiolus, particularly the physiology of biological control associated with Aneuribacillus migulans. Techniques in use include a number of state-of-the-art molecular and chemical methods.

Collaborations

Extensive collaborations within EU projects and networks. Local collaborations with Professors Marcel Jaspars and Jorg Feldmann in the School of Natural and Computing Sciences. Work on Phytophthora and other fine root pathogens is carried out in collaboration with Dr Lassaad Belbahri at the University of Neuchatel.
