Curtin Staff Profile
Biography

Lincoln Harper is a research officer working on characterising fungicide resistance in grapevine fungal pathogens, with a focus on Botrytis cinerea (grey mould) in wine grapes. His research has also involved genetic work in grape powdery mildew (Erysiphe necator) and grape downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola). This research aims to provide valuable information that could contribute to improving resistance management strategies in an economically important crop.
