The Moscou group
The Moscou group is located at The Sainsbury Laboratory in Norwich, United Kingdom. In 2010, the group was initially within the 2Blades Group. After an expansion in our research programme, the group became independent in 2014. Our initial research focus was on identifying novel sources of durable disease resistance to wheat stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) and wheat stem rust (Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici). Our research has now expanded to several themes including the genetic architecture of nonhost resistance in grasses to fungal pathogens, multiple pathogen recognition of R genes, molecular tradeoffs in immunity to biotrophs and necrotrophs, suppression of resistance in polyploid genomes, genomics of immunity in cereals, and pre-zygotic and post-zygotic hybridization barriers and their relationship to immunity.
