Laboratory of Breeding for Disease Resistance
Paweł Czembor, Ph.D.
phone: (+48 22) 725 36 11 ext. 302
e-mail: p.czembor@ihar.edu.pl

Objectives:

  • development of germplasms and strategies for breeding of cereals resistant to fungal pathogens,
  • study of host-pathogen interactions,
  • development of PCR-based DNA markers linked to partial resistance in wheat and triticale to necrotrophic and biotrophic fungi,
  • development of PCR-based DNA markers linked to mating types and pathogenicity of Phaeosphaeria (Stagonospora) nodorum,
  • molecular studies of genetic variation in populations of fungal pathogens and their respective hosts, i.e. wheat and triticale,
  • development of methodology applied in pathogen detection, monitoring of incidence and resistance screening of potato germplasms to quarantine pathogens of potato (Synchytrium endobioticum – causal agent of black wart disease, Clavibacter michiganensis ssp. sepedonicus, Ralstonia solanacearum, Globodera rostochiensis, Globodera pallida),
  • collaborative research projects financed by European Commission within 5th, 6th and 7th FP (BIOEXPLOIT, ENDURE), domestic and international agencies (SUSVAR).
