Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Helge Skinnes"
- Helge Skinnes focuses on genetic mapping and the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTL) related to disease resistance and mycotoxin content in cereal crops, particularly oats and wheat.
- His research has highlighted the importance of breeding for resistance against Fusarium head blight (FHB) in wheat, including exploring alternative genetic sources beyond the commonly referenced Fhb1 gene.
- Skinnes has utilized various molecular techniques, such as DArT, AFLP, and SSR markers, to create genetic linkage maps, facilitating the identification of genetic traits associated with disease resistance and enhancing cereal crop safety and productivity.
