About this position

Can we stay ahead of an emerging crop disease before it becomes established in Europe? This PhD will use genomics to future-proof celery against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. apii race 4, a highly virulent pathogen that threatens celery production globally. Working alongside industry collaborators at Tozer Seeds, you will use cutting-edge genomics to help future-proof celery breeding by identifying independent sources of resistance and translating them into practical breeding solutions. We have evidence of independent sources of resistance to this pathogen in celery, which need to be characterised
