Evolutionary Plant Health

When plants are moved, their associates move with them, amounting to a world-wide experiment in new species interactions.

They are at their most visible when pathogens are released in host communities with little resistance, resulting in devastating disease epidemics, and a major threat to world biodiversity. RBGE researches the evolutionary changes that may drive or be driven by new host-microbe associations, and on appropriate management responses.
