Plant Genetics and Breeding – Particularly focused on fruit and vegetable crops. Plant Resistance to Insects – Specialization in Hemipteran pests (e.g., aphids). Plant-Virus Interactions – Emphasis on viruses transmitted by insect vectors. Durability of Plant Resistance – Studying long-term effectiveness of resistance traits in crops. Resistance Genetics and Architecture – Linking genetic traits to phenotypic resistance. Agro-Ecological Research – Conducting field studies in diverse environments Multidisciplinary Research Coordination – Integrating entomology, virology, genetics, and modelling.
