Principal Research Scientist
(Bacteriology) |
| Eric Cother completed his Ph.D. at the Australian National University
in 1973 after graduating B.Sc.Agr. from Sydney University.
Ric’s research
experience includes the pathology of vegetable crops, especially onions and
potatoes, soil-borne diseases of rice and the ecology of soft-rot Erwinia
spp. After 11 years working in the field of biological control of weeds
using plant pathogens, he returned to the discipline of plant bacteriology
in 1999 and is presently Curator of the Australian Collection of Plant Pathogenic
Bacteria. He is sub-Program Leader for Sustainable Crop Protection in the
Cooperative Research Centre for Sustainable Rice Production and is Adjunct
Associate Professor at Charles Sturt University. He is presently Editor-in-Chief of Australasian Plant Pathology, an international
journal published by CSIRO Publishing on behalf on the Australasian Plant
Pathology Society (http://www.publish.csiro.au/journals/app/) | Significant publications: - Cother, E.J., Darbyshire, B., and Brewer, J. (1976). Pseudomonas aeruginosa: cause of internal brown rot of onions. Phytopathology 66: 828-834.
