پژوهشگر
Paul Arens is a Researcher at Wageningen University & Research , specializing in plant breeding and genetics. His work focuses on polyploid crop genomics, particularly in ornamental species like roses and chrysanthemums. Active in genetic mapping, haplotype resolution, and disease resistance breeding Develops advanced imaging and computational tools for phenotyping Leads projects on chrysanthemum genome diversity and Botrytis resistance His research integrates genomics with practical breeding applications, addressing challenges in allopolyploid species like Fragaria x ananassa (strawberry) and tetraploid potatoes. Recent work emphasizes automated disease scoring (Spotibot) and haplotype-specific genome assembly. Current projects include: LWV22014 : Tapping into chrysanthemum genome diversity LWV20112 : Sequence-based markers for polyploid breeding Breaking the bond with Botrytis : Genetic resistance in Rosaceae He collaborates internationally on polyploid genome sequencing and contributes to plant genotyping methodologies.
