Ingo Hein is the Head of Potato Research at the Hutton. His research is focused on the identification, mobilisation, and cloning of durable resistances against major potato pathogens. At the core of his research lies the exploration of the Commonwealth Potato Collection, where he applies genomics and genetics to discover novel resistances. By closely collaborating with breeders, stakeholders, and industry partners, his fundamental research into disease resistance seamlessly translates into practical applications.
Current projects encompass the following key areas:
By pursuing these avenues, Ingo aims to enhance the effectiveness and longevity of disease resistance in potato cultivation, contributing to the sustainable growth of the industry and ensuring food security."
