Primary fields of research
Community ecology, population genetics and evolution of fungi with emphasis on biotrophic symbionts and parasites. Molecular markers have been developed to study diversity, population genetic structure and reproductive mode of soil and plant associated fungi. Among the studied fungi are Fusarium, Penicillium, various Oomycota (Peronosporamycota) as well as the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in Glomales and fungi associated with insects. We use rad-sequencing, microsatellites, SNPs, DNA sequencing in to generate markers for these studies. Genetic markers are associated with phenotypic traits of Phytophthora infestans (Potato late blight) to predict emerging epidemics. Molecular diversity and population genetics of AMF fungi in agricultural fields and natural vegetation is studied from variation in various gene markers. Meta-barcoding using Illumina sequencing is used for studies of fungal community structure with emphasis on neutral and deterministic drivers of community assembly. Evolutionary and demographic models based on coalescence and MCMC Bayesian statistics are used to explain fungal diversity and distribution patterns.

Research
|
Ecology, population genetics and evolution of fungi where molecular markers have been developed to study diversity, population structure and reproductive mode of soil fungi. Among the studied fungi are Fusarium, Penicillium, various Oomycota (Peronosporamycota) as well as the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in Glomales and fungi associated with insects. We use ISSR, AFLP and DNA sequencing in combination with SSCP to generate markers for these studies. Molecular diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in agricultural fields and natural vegetation is studied at community level from variation in LSU rDNA sequences and DGGE is used for studies of community structure. |
