Bio
One long-standing thread in the research effort of myself and co-workers has been the application biotechnology to control plant parasitic nematodes which was initiated by from the mid-nineteen eighties after being seconded to one of the original biotechnology companies founded the USA. A particular interest has been the development of appropriate technology for the developing world to be made available as public research for public good on a not-for-profit basis. A key example of this has been our work on transgenic cooking bananas and plantains for Africa working with both UK and USA government funding. These bananas are staple food for about 80 million Africans and nematodes reduce yields by about 50% with no natural resistance or other control options available to growers.
Another example interest that is not biotechnology related has been the management of potato cyst nematodes (PCN) in the UK. They are the most damaging and uncontrollable of the UK potato crop. Recently we have looked at the likely impact of climate change on their future reproductive success on the crop. This has been followed by effort to improve a potato cyst nematode management tool used by UK growers to help plan cropping with minimal damage from PCN
