- Genetikk, evolusjon og planteproduksjon
My research activities are in the interphase between plant genetics and plant breeding With special interest in QTL mapping, resistance breeding and the molecular genetics of hostpathogen interactions. I am currently leading research projects on powdery mildew in wheat, leaf blotch diseases in wheat and barley, Fusarium head blight in wheat and oats, pre-harvest sprouting resistance in wheat and waterlogging tolerance in wheat and barley. Much of this is collaborative work with the plant breeding company Graminor. I am also involved in validation of Molecular markers for wheat, barley and oat breeding, and the implementation of marker-assisted selection in Norwegian wheat breeding has come as a direct result of these research projects.
