Jones, David - The Australian National University

个人简介

David Jones obtained his B.Sc. (Hons) and PhD at the Department of Genetics, University of Adelaide working on the genetics of the interaction between flax and the flax rust fungus Melampsora lini. He was then awarded a Charles John Everard Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Department of Plant Pathology, Waite Agricultural Research Institute, University of Adelaide where he worked on the biological control of crown gall. His work led to the first commercial release of a genetically modified bacterium, subsequently marketed as NoGall. He was then offered a postdoctoral fellowship in The Sainsbury Laboratory, John Innes Centre, Norwich, where he worked on the genetic and molecular basis of the interaction between tomato and the leaf mould fungus Cladopsorium fulvum. His work led to the isolation of the tomato Cf-9 gene, one of the first plant disease resistance genes cloned. In 1996, he returned to Australia to set up his own lab in the Research School of Biological Sciences (now the Research School of Biology) at The Australian National University, where he continues work on the molecular basis of disease resistance in tomato (leaf mould and Fusarium wilt resistance) and flax (flax rust resistance).
