Vivian Blok,Researcher of The James Hutton Institute.Her current research interests:Examining genetic diversity (biological/functional, molecular genetic and phylogenetic) of Globodera pallida using comparative sequencing, expression analyses, and functional analyses to investigate host/nematode interactions and virulence with the aim of sustainable management of host resistance;Developing molecular diagnostics for plant parasitic nematodes and using them to understand population structure, intraspecific competition and population dynamics;Understanding the role of temperature on potato cyst nematode (PCN) multiplication for risk predictions;Evaluating the effect of combining resistances to PCN on competition and multiplication;Investigating the evolution of the multipartite mitochondrial genome of Globodera pallida and related species.
