Food security, specifically, development of novel tools for selective breeding to improve the sustainability and security of “plant-derived” food production systems through the mitigation of biotic and abiotic factors that impact yield and quality and the optimization of resource inputs used for their management. In particular, the application of sequencing and transcriptomics to understand salinity and drought tolerance mechanisms, fungal pathogen population dynamics and the genetic pathways enabling fungal pathogen resistances in temperate legume and broad acre crops.
