Professor Adrian Newton

Adrian Newton is a cereal pathologist by training but his current research spans broader aspects of arable crops in the context of integrated crop management. Adrian’s research interests in cereal pathogens continue, including Ramularia collo-cygni (Ramularia Leaf Spot). The crop diversity interest has taken more of an ecological focus working with Hutton colleagues and others, and has encompassed intercropping, especially cereal-legume combinations for both biomass (wholecrop) and grain.

Gaynor Malloch

Gaynor Malloch is a Research Scientist collaborating in studying pest arthropod biology on an international and national scale. 

Current research interests include: The Scottish Myzus persicae population is being studied using molecular markers to define clones and superclones. The work has already demonstrated a severe genetic bottleneck with less than 20 major clones in the UK. Genotyping identifies several aphid properties including the presence of insecticide resistance mechanisms, host plant preferences and biological properties such as reproductive potential.

Dr Robert Hancock

Rob is a senior crop physiologist and biochemist at the James Hutton Institute in Dundee. In his current role he works across a range of crops to identify physiological and biochemical mechanisms underpinning crop yield and quality in response to the biotic and abiotic environment. He works extensively with geneticists and breeders where his mechanistic insights facilitate the identification of genetic markers underpinning agronomic traits.

Dr Jennie Brierley

Jennie is a Senior researcher in potato pathology and diagnostics. Her main research interests are developing the use of molecular diagnostic techniques for the detection and quantification of seed and soil-borne potato pathogens: both as a research tool to investigate the epidemiology of potato pathogens, and in supporting the management of potatoes by quantifying disease risk.
