Carla Ximena Colque-Little

Carla Ximena Colque-Little serves as a Guest Researcher at the Department of Plant and Environmental Sciences, Section for Crop Sciences, University of Copenhagen's Faculty of Science. Her research focuses on plant pathology and breeding, with particular expertise in quinoa diseases. She maintains an active research profile with numerous publications in plant science journals and conference proceedings.

Dr. Colque-Little's research interests center on plant pathology, particularly the diseases affecting quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa). Her work spans disease characterization, pathogen identification, and resistance breeding. She has strong connections to Bolivian agricultural research, reflecting quinoa's importance as a native Andean crop. Her research addresses critical food security challenges through understanding plant-pathogen interactions and developing disease-resistant varieties.

Analysis of Dr. Colque-Little's publication record reveals a consistent focus on quinoa pathology, with an emphasis on fungal diseases affecting this important pseudocereal crop. Her research spans disease identification, molecular characterization of pathogens, and exploration of resistance mechanisms. The international collaboration evident in her work, particularly with researchers from quinoa's native regions, demonstrates the global significance of her research for food security under changing climate conditions.

Dr. Colque-Little actively collaborates with international researchers on quinoa research projects. Her work shows strong connections to Bolivian agricultural science, reflecting the crop's origins and importance in Andean food systems. She participates in international research consortia focused on quinoa phenotyping and disease management.
