Davinder Singh is a Senior Research Scientist at the University of Sydney, Australia, specializing in plant genetics and disease resistance. His research focuses on identifying and characterizing resistance genes against rust diseases in wheat, barley, and other cereals, with an emphasis on breeding for durable resistance. He has contributed significantly to understanding the genetics of rust resistance, including the identification of genes such as Lr67, Yr46, and Rph20. His work also extends to taro, where he investigates genetic diversity and resistance to leaf blight. Singh's research integrates molecular genetics, breeding, and pathology to enhance food security and crop resilience.
