Plants are in constant battle with pests and pathogens. Wild species host genetic diversity, providing sources of disease resistance, while the narrow genetic base of crop varieties leads to an increasing reliance on the unsustainable application of chemical fungicides. Here I will apply the latest genomics approaches to characterise disease resistance gene diversity across the plant kingdom. Comparison of gene diversity within and between plant families will improve our understanding of resistance gene evolution in wild species and the impact of domestication and breeding on resistance gene diversity. Translation of this knowledge will support breeding for crop resilience, leading to durable resistance and more sustainable crop production

植物不断与害虫和病原体作斗争。野生物种拥有遗传多样性，提供了抗病性来源，而农作物品种的遗传基础狭窄导致越来越多地依赖化学杀菌剂的不可持续应用。在这里，我将应用最新的基因组学方法来表征整个植物界的抗病基因多样性。比较植物科内和科之间的基因多样性将提高我们对野生物种抗性基因进化以及驯化和育种对抗性基因多样性影响的理解。这些知识的转化将支持作物抗逆力育种，从而实现持久的抗性和更可持续的作物生产
