We are a plant biology laboratory that is focused on the problem of root-knot nematode parasites in agriculture. Root-knot nematodes are small parasitic worms that attack the roots of many different crops, severely disrupting root function and plant growth. They also posses the fascinating ability to specifically modify the shape and function of plant cells - something we would like to understand and learn from!
Important notice - lab has closed.
Please be informed that from the 1st April 2014 the Bartlem Lab no longer exists at Hokkaido University. We are extremely grateful for all the support from our colleagues and collaborators over the last 6 years, and have thoroughly enjoyed the excitement of being part of the scientific community and advances during that time. This is both a moment of sadness and excitement. Although our lab no longer exists, all lab members are moving on to new positions and the next step of their careers. This includes Derek, who has joined KWS SAAT AG. We look forward to maintaining a strong interaction with the scientific community in these new roles!
