Research interest
Research focused on Powdery mildew and PEAR, with related work in Phloem, Blumeria graminis, microRNA. Notable publications include 'Identification of miRNAs involved in pear fruit development and quality', 'Transgenic expression of a functional fragment of harpin protein Hpa1 in wheat induces the phloem-based defence against English grain aphid', and 'Transgenic Expression of the Functional Fragment Hpa1 10-42 of the Harpin Protein Hpa1 Imparts Enhanced Resistance to Powdery Mildew in Wheat'.
