Specific objectives (edited for this web site):

1. Vegetative incompatibility in Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus (Hp). Ascomycetes have a system of self/non-self recognition known as vegetative compatibility (VC). When hyphae of genets in different VC groups (VCG) encounter each other they form mycelial barrages, often associated with apoptosis. VC is important in fungal population biology because it delineates the territory occupied by a genet, giving it sole access to the resources therein and can be highly relevant to disease control. We will investigate the spatial structure of VCG in the UK population of Hp, comparing older and more recent outbreaks.
