RESEARCH

Our research goal is to understand molecular mechanisms underlying interactions between viruses and their plant hosts, as well as more complex 3-way interactions between viruses, their plant hosts, and their natural vectors. In particular, we study wheat and barley diseases caused by furo- and bymoviruses that are naturally transmitted exclusively by Polymyxa graminis, the plant root inhabiting eukaryotic plasmodiophoraceous microorganism.
