Research:
- Screening of the genetic resources of potato (PGR) from Genebank-accessions for resistance to economically important pathogens (Phytophthora infestans, Potato virus Y, Potato leaf roll virus) and pests (aphids, Colorado potato beetle)
- Exploitation of the resistance in the non-adapted PGR of the wild species of the genus Solanum for potato breeding by using protoplast fusion and other biotechnological methods
- Genetic analysis of the inheritance of resistances to potato diseases
Boards and memberships:
